Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-fluoroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylate (0.10 g, 0.48 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.020 g, 0.48 mmol) were added to a mixture of water, THF and ethanol (1:2:1) and heated in a sealed vial at 65° C. for 6 hours. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to yield 87 mg of the desired product. MS (ES+APCI) m/z=181.1 (M+H).
