N-Iodosuccinimide → HCID 86721405, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

[step 3] To 2-(methoxymethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (1.8 g, 11 mmol) obtained in step 2 were added DMF (22 mL) and N-iodosuccinimide (2.75 g, 12 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction was discontinued with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the extract was dried over sodium sulfate. Filtration, concentration under reduced pressure and purification by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol=10/1 v/v) gave 3-iodo-2-(methoxymethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (3.1 g, 99%).
