Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.34 g (0.015 g atom) of sodium in 70 mL of ethanol was added 2.0 g (0.013 mol) of 2-mercapto-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine. After stirring at room temperature for 25 minutes, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness in a rotary evaporator. To the residue was added 40 mL of DMF. To the resulting solution was added dropwise 2.33 g (0.013 mol) of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl chloride in 3 mL of DMF. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and was then poured into 400 mL of chilled water. The precipitate that formed was collected by filtration and amounted to 3.11 g. An analytical sample (m.p. 224°-226° C.) was obtained by recrystallization from ethanol.
