Triethylamine → N'-[4-(4-amino-2-butyl-6,7-dimethyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)butyl]-N,N-dimethylsulfamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.031 mL, 0.23 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-(4-aminobutyl)-2-butyl-6,7-dimethyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-amine (67 mg, 0.23 mmol) in dichloromethane (45 mL). The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Dimethylsulfamoyl chloride (0.025 mL, 0.23 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was removed from the ice bath. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for ˜113 hours. Analysis by HPLC indicated that the reaction was not complete. The dichloromethane was removed under reduced pressure. 1,2-Dichloroethane (50 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was heated to 60° C. After 3 hours, more dimethylsulfamoyl chloride (2.5 μL) was added and heating was continued. After 22 hours the reaction temperature was raised to reflux and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 100 hours. The reaction mixture was extracted twice with water. The aqueous fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was recrystallized from methyl acetate to provide 10 mg of N′-[4-(4-amino-2-butyl-6,7-dimethyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)butyl]-N,N-dimethylsulfamide as an off-white crystalline solid, m.p. 129.5-131° C. M/Z=397.1 (M+H)+.
