Procedure
A Teflon-capped high-pressure glass bottle was charged with (6-fluoro-2-(4-fluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol (2.2 g, 6.4 mmoles, 1.0 eq.), dry CH2Cl2 (60 ml) and solid P2I4 (7.3 g, 12.9 mmoles, 2.0 eq.). The bottle was flushed with N2 and heated at 40° C. for 60 hours. The reaction was quenched with NaHCO3 (200 ml, 1.0 M in water), extracted (3×200 ml CH2Cl2), the organic layer was dried with MgSO4 and concentrated on rotary evaporator. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (30%→70% gradient of 10% MeOH/90% EtOAc in hexanes on a 330 g silica gel column). The purified product was crystallized from hot EtOAc. Yield: 1.1 g (53%). Repeated crystallization provided additional 0.7 g (34%) having equal purity. (0.19 g, 53% yield).
