Acetyl chloride → HCID 25260786, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(2-phenyl-pyridin-4-yl)-7-piperidin-4-yl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (Ex. 1.198) (1.0 eq, 0.20 mmol, 80 mg) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml) is added triethylamine (3 eq, 0.61 mmol, 0.09 ml) and acetyl chloride (1.5 eq, 0.31 mmol, 0.02 ml) and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture is poured into NaHCO3 (50 ml) and the organic phase is extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers are washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The reaction mixture is purified by flash column chromatography eluting with 9:1 DCM/MeOH to yield 1-{4-[3-(2-phenyl-pyridin-4-yl)-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-7-yl]-piperidin-1-yl}-ethanone as a white solid; [M+H]+=397
