Reaction Steps

1-[2,6,7-Trimethyl-4-phenoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl]eth-2-yl acetate (11.1 g, 33.0 mmol), methanol (250 mL), and potassium carbonate (1.14 g, 8.25 mmol) were combined with stirring and heated to 45° C. under nitrogen. The reaction was complete after 30 minutes, and the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to a solid, which was dissolved in dichloromethane. The resulting solution was subjected to flash chromatography using 9/1 dichloromethane/methanol. A white solid was isolated and dried to provide 9.1 g of product.
