Procedure

N-Bromosuccinimide (0.288 g, 0.00162 mol) was added in portions to a solution of 5-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (compound n, 0.3 g, 0.001 mol) in acetonitrile (7 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes. The solvent removed then water (10 mL) and ethyl acetate (10 mL) was added. The layers were separated and the organic layer dried (magnesium sulfate) then removed. The crude product was chromatographed using 30% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 3-Bromo-5-methyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a light brown solid. Rf 0.35, 80% ethyl acetate/hexanes; MS m/z 284 (M+H).
