Cyclohexanepentanoic acid → HCID 178520569, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-cyclohexylpentanoic acid (0.94 g, 5.10 mmol) in DCM (4 mL) carbonyldiimidazole (0.83 g, 5.12 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h and then added to a solution of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (5.10 mmol) in DCM (4 mL). After 2.5 h DCM (50 mL) was added and the mixture was washed with water (3×15 mL). The organic layer was then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate/methanol 9:1) whereby 0.35 g (24%) of the title amide was obtained as an oil.
