Trifluoroacetic anhydride → 1-ethyl-7-methyl-3-(4-{[tris(1-methylethyl)silyl]oxy}phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one 4-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 1-ethyl-7-methyl-3-(4-{[tris(1-methylethyl)silyl]oxy}phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (5 g) and urea hydrogen peroxide (2.32 g) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) was added trifluoroacetic anhydride (3.32 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h, and treated with saturated NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH, AcOEt) to give the title compound (1.0 g).
