Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (500 mg, 3.40 mmol) in dry 1,4-dioxane (7.5 mL) was addedhttp://newsearchch.chemexper.com/cheminfo/servlet/org.dbcreator.MainServlet?sort=%3E%7Eentry.intValue&query=structure._structureID%3D4635571&target=entry&action=PowerSearch&onclick=1&from=0&history=off&forGroupNames=&style=&realQuery=rn.value%3D%22CF3COOH%22+elsor+entry.catalogID%3D%22CF3COOH%22+elsor+iupac.value%3D%22CF3COOH%22+elsor+mf.value%3D%22CF3COOH%22+elsor+%28iupac.value%3D%7E%22CF3COOH%22+or+catalog.description%3D%7E%22CF3COOH%22%29&format=ccd&searchTemplate=rn.value%3D%3F+elsor+entry.catalogID%3D%3 selenium dioxide (665 mg, 5.10 mmol). The mixture heated by microwave at 130° C. for 5 min. Then the mixture was filtered and concentrated to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether:DCM 10:1 to 1:1) to give the title compound (400 mg, yield 28%). LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 162 (M+1)+. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ (ppm): 3.61 (s, 3H), 5.91 (s, 1H), 7.67-7.70 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 8.39-8.41 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 8.93 (s, 1H).
