Oxalyl chloride → N-(1-benzyl-3-methyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)-7-(2-methoxyethoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-(2-methoxyethoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (0.035 g, 0.148 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added oxalyl chloride in dichloromethane (2M, 0.081 mL, 0.163 mmol) with a catalytic (drop) amount of DMF. After stirring at ambient temperature for 30 minutes, 1-benzyl-3-methyl-1H-indazol-4-amine (0.0387 g, 0.163 mmol) was added (as a solution in 1 mL methylene chloride), followed by diisopropylethylamine (0.0310 mL, 0.178 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight and then partitioned between water and DCM. The combined organic extracts were dried (phase separator silicone treated filter paper), evaporated in vacuum and purified on silica gel (10-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford N-(1-benzyl-3-methyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)-7-(2-methoxyethoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (0.022 g, 33% yield) as a white solid, 22 mg. MS (APCI) m/z=456 (M+H).
