Trifluoroacetic acid → N-(5-amino-2-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (50 mL) was added to a stirred suspension of tert-butyl 3-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamido)-4-methylphenylcarbamate (66) in Me2S (5 mL) and dichloromethane (10 mL). After 2 hours the solution was evaporated and partitioned with dichloromethane and saturated NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was extracted several times with dichloromethane and the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4. N-(5-amino-2-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (67) was isolated and used without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.44 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1H), 8.05 (s, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.38-7.33 (m, 2H), 6.98-6.94 (m, 2H), 2.19 (s, 3H). MS m/z 267.1 (M+1)+.
