Procedure

34.8 ml of benzyl alcohol are added dropwise with ice cooling to a suspension of 13.5 g of sodium hydride (60% strength suspension in paraffin) in 510 ml of dimethylformamide and the mixture is stirred for 1 h until the evolution of gas is complete. 51.2 g of 6,8-dibromo-2,3-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine are then introduced in small portions and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 40 h. It is then poured onto 1 l of ice water, extracted three times with 100 ml of dichloromethane each time, the combined organic extracts are washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and twice with water, concentrated to dryness in vacuo and the residue is stirred with a little ethyl acetate. The precipitate obtained here is filtered off and dried in vacuo. 43.2 g of the title compound of melting point 151–3° C. (ethyl acetate) are obtained.
