Reaction Steps

Fe (0.447 g) is added to a mixture of 6-bromo-2-[3-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (0.618 g), HOAc (0.733 mL), and EtOH—H2O (10 mL, 4:1). The mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours, then concentrated, taken into sat. aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc and CH2Cl2. Organics are dried and concentrated to give the title compound (463 mg), which is used without further purification. LCMS m/z=356.4 [M+H]+, tR=2.04 min.
