Ethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylate (1.5 g, 7.9 mmol) was dissolved in diethyl ether (30 mL) and dichloromethane (20 mL). Lithium aluminum hydride (450 mg, 11.8 mmol) was added at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and extracted 5 times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phase was washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-ylmethanol was obtained as a yellow oil (527 mg, 45% yield) and used in the next step without purification; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 4.86 (s, 2H), 6.76-6.80 (m, 1H), 7.15-7.20 (m, 1H), 7.55-7.58 (m, 2H), 8.09 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1H).
