Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-amino-2-anilinopyridine (0.5 g), 2-(imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid (0.38 g) and pyridine (0.24 ml) in chloroform (5 ml) was dropwise added phosphorus oxychloride (0.28 ml) and the mixture was refluxed for 1.5 hours. After being cooled, the reaction mixture was decanted and the residue was poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined extract was dried over magnesiumsulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was triturated in ethyl acetate (10 ml) to give 2-(imidazol-1-yl)-N-(2-anilinopyridin 3-yl)acetamide (200 mg).
