Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask was added, 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (8.59 g, 51.4 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (12.6 mL, 72.2 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (100 mL). This mixture was warmed to 40° C. and aged for 10 min, after which 1-(piperidin-4-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2(3H)-one dihydrochloride (10 g, 34.3 mmol) was added. The slurry was aged at 40° C. for 3 h, and then upon reaction completion, the solvent was swapped to acetonitrile which afforded an off white solid (9.19 g, 85.9%).
