Water → 5-[1-(2-Thienylcarbonyl)-4-piperidyloxy]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 60% sodium hydride in oil (0.40 g, 10 mmoles) in dimethylformamide (30 ml) was added 1-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine (2.11 g, 10 mmoles) with stirring under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. To this reaction mixture was added 5-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (1.53 g, 10 mmoles) with stirring under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 7 hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with ethyl acetate and dried. After the solvent was distilled off, the residue was purified with column chromatography [eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1)→ethyl acetate/hexane (2:1)→ethyl acetate/ethanol (50:1)] to obtain 0.15 g of the desired product (4.6%, pale yellow oily product).
