Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

100 mg of [3-(2-naphthalen-2-ylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)phenyl]methanol (Example 2) and 120 mg of 2-bromoethanol methyl ether are dissolved in 5 ml of a 1/1 methanol/dimethylformamide mixture, in a pressure tube, and 1 g of potassium fluoride on alumina is added thereto. The tube is closed and heated for 16 h at 80° C. After cooling, the mineral is removed by filtration and washed with dichloromethane. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel chromatography, elution being carried out with a 99/1 dichloromethane/methanol mixture. An oil which crystallizes from 5 ml of diisopropyl ether is obtained. The precipitate is recovered by filtration, washed with diisopropyl ether and dried under reduced pressure. 44 mg of compound are obtained. Mp=80-82° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, δ in ppm): 3.25 (m, 3H) 3.55 (m, 4H); 4.57 (s, 2H); from 7.27 to 7.80 (m, 8H); from 7.82 to 8.16 (m, 4H); 8.52 (m, 2H); 8.89 (m, 1H). M+H=409.
