The mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred for a further 20 min. To the reaction mixture was added a solution of 6-(chloromethyl)-2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazole (600 mg, 2.81 mmol) from Step 3 of this Example in DMF (5 mL). The mixture was stirred at rt for 15 h. To the reaction mixture was added water and the mixture was extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were washed with brine. The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by silica gel flash chromatography eluting with 100% DCM followed by 1% MeOH in DCM to afford 6-((3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)methyl)-2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazole (290 mg, 38%) as a white solid. The regiochemistry of the alkylation was determined by 2-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiment. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.64 (s, 1H), 8.38 (dd, J=1.2, 4.6 Hz, 1H), 8.10 (dd, J=1.2, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.69 (s, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.25-7.41 (m, 2H), 5.61 (s, 2H), 2.73 (s, 3H).
