p-Toluenesulfonyl isocyanate → 2-[4-(2-Ethyl-5,7-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-yl)phenyl]ethyl (4-Methylphenyl)sulfonylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(2-ethyl-5,7-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)phenyl]ethanol (step 6 of Example 1, 300 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate (237 mg, 1.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After removal of solvent, the residual solids were recrystallized from ethyl acetate to afford 454 mg (92%) of the title compound as white solids: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.93 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 7.33 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 7.22 (4H, s), 6.92 (1H, s), 4.87 (1H, br.s), 4.35 (2H, t, J=6.6 Hz), 2.96 (2H, t, J=6.6 Hz), 2.78 (2H, q, J=7.7 Hz), 2.66 (3H, s), 2.50 (3H, s), 2.43 (3H, s), 1.24 (3H, t, J=7.7 Hz).
