Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.37 g (4.94 mmol) of 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in 14 ml of hydrazine hydrate 98% and 1 ml of ethanol. Was stirred at room temperature for an hour. The mixture was then poured into 25 ml of sodium hydroxide 35% and extracted with dichloromethane.
