Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-tert-Butyl 3-(3-(3-methoxypropyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (36D) (0.279 mmol, 0.105 g) was added to a 10 mL round-bottomed flask equipped for stirring under nitrogen. Dichloromethane (1 mL) and trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL) were then added and the resultant solution was allowed to stir under nitrogen for 4 hr. The reaction was then concentrated and dried in-vacuo affording (R)-3-(3-Methoxypropyl)-2-(piperidin-3-yl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (35E) as a clear oil that was used without further purification. ESI-MS: m/z 275.1 (M+H)+.
