Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(2-(6-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)aniline (Compound of Example 589) (25 mg) and acetic anhydride (0.01 ml) in pyridine was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours, and the reaction mixture was poured onto ice. The mixture was neutralized with a 5% aqueous solution of ammonium acetate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was distilled off and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration to obtain N-(4-(2-(6-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)acetamide (22 mg, 78%).
