Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., EDC (0.45 g, 2.4 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butylacetic acid (0.30 mL, 2.3 mmol), and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (0.32 g, 2.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 min at 0° C. 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine dihydrochloride (0.50 g, 2.4 mmol) was added. Ethyldiisopropylamine (0.40 mL, 2.4 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with 10% aqueous sodium hydrogen sulfate solution (100 mL). A 1 N solution of sodium hydroxide was added to the aqueous solution until pH 12 was obtained. It was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). These organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica (40 g), using dichloromethane/methanol/25% aqueous ammonia (100:10:1) as eluent to give 125 mg of the title compound.
