Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Methyl-2-propylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (described in Example 9) was alkylated with 2-t-butoxycarbonyl-4'-bromomethylbiphenyl and the resulting protected derivative was deprotected according to the procedure described in Step 2 of Example 3. NMR (CDCl3): δ0.93 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3H), 1.69 (q, 2H), 2.63 (s, 3H), 2.78 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 5.49 (s, 3H), 7.04-7.5 (m, 8H), 7.8 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.14 (d, J=5 Hz, 1H). FAB-MS: m/e 386 (M+H).
