Ethanol → HCID 71108835, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 350 mg of 8-[(2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid were added 18 ml of ethanol and 200 μl of sulfuric acid, followed by heating to reflux overnight. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was removed by filtration to around one third of the amount thereof, and a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and chloroform were then added thereto to carry out a layer separation operation. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 330 mg of ethyl 8-[(2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylate.
