Reaction Steps

To a solution of 601 mg (2.5 mmol) of 5-(4-chlorobutylthio)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and 473 mg (2.5 mmol) of 5-(ethylthiomethylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione in 5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide, 0.37 ml (2.5 mmol) of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene was added, followed by stirring at 80° C. for 16 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled, water was added; the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and dried, after which the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent, hexane/ethyl acetate=1/4→ethyl acetate) to yield 0.76 g (77.2%, light orange oily substance) of the desired product.
