Procedure

To a mixture of 6-bromo-2-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine (1.000 g, 3.73 mmol) and cuprous oxide (0.053 g, 0.373 mmol) in 8.3 mL of ethylene glycol was added a 7 N solution of ammonia in methanol (7.99 mL, 55.9 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated in a high-pressure vessel at 100° C. overnight. Upon cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuum to give 6-methoxy-5-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine (762.0 mg, 3.73 mmol, 100% yield) as brown semisold. LC-MS (M+H)+=205.10. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.53 (1H, s), 7.26 (1H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 6.78 (1H, s), 6.07 (1H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 3.86 (3H, s.), 2.25 (3H, s).
