Sodium Iodide → 8-{2-[(2-Methoxyethoxy)carbonylamino]-6-methylbenzyloxy}-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.0 g (11.35 mmol) of 8-hydroxy-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde, 1.2 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate, 0.17 g (1.14 mmol) of sodium iodide and 3.3 g (12.8 mmol) of 2-methoxyethyl 2-chloromethyl-3-methylphenylcarbamate in 30 ml of acetone is stirred at RT for 24 h and poured onto 200 ml of ice-water. The precipitate is filtered off, dried and recrystallized from toluene/diisopropyl ether. 3.9 g (86.5%) of the title compound of m.p. 119°-120° C. are obtained.
