Reaction Steps

Grams 10 2-benzylamino-3-amino pyridine and 3 g urea in 50 ml xylene are heated under reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is then cooled to room temperature, the undissolved product filtered and washed with toluene; the solid dried in vacuo at 80° C. gives 5.1 g 3-benzyl-2-hydroxy-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine which, recrystallized from absolute ethyl alcohol, melts at 177°-179° C.
