Diethyl Ether → 2-[2-(Isobutylamino)benzylthio]imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a dispersion of 0.96 g of 2-mercaptoimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine in 30 ml of ethanol was added at once 1.5 g of 2-(isobutylamino)benzyl chloride hydrochloride at room temperature under stirring. The resulting mixture was further stirred for one hour. To the mixture was added 30 ml of diethyl ether, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and washed with a mixture of ethanol and diethyl ether (1/1 in volume). The obtained powdery product was added portionwise to a mixture of 30 ml of chloroform and 30 ml of a saturated NaHCO3 solution for neutralization. The organic phase was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was crystallized by addition of diethyl ether and hexane. The crystalline product was collected by filtration, washed with a mixture of diethyl ether and hexane (1/1 in volume) and dried to give 985 mg (yield: 49.3%) of 2-[2-(isobutylamino)benzylthio]imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine as a white crystalline powder.
