Reaction Steps

Benzenethiol (2.42 mL, 23.6 mmol) was added dropwise to a suspension of sodium hydride (0.944 g of 60%, 23.6 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) and stirred until a clear solution was obtained. A solution of 1-(5-chloropentyl)-2,6,7-trimethyl-4-phenoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (6.5 g, 18.2 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, then it was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (300 mL). The extract was washed with water (5×75 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 7.20 g of 2,6,7-trimethyl-4-phenoxy-1-[5-(phenylthio)pentyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine.
