Picolinic acid → N-(3-(2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl)picolinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.85 g of picolinic acid and 2.43 g of 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole in 60 ml of tetrahydrofuran was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Then 3.0 g of 2-phenyl-1H-imidazole-1-propanamine was added and the procedure as described in Example 33 was continued to obtain 5.7 g of a viscous oil. The oil was treated by preparative high pressure liquid chromatography using a PrepPAK®-500 Silica column (Waters Associates, Millipore) and ethyl acetate as eluent. Fractions were collected and fractions 5 and 6 were concentrated, treated with ether, and dried and gave 3.8 g of the compound of the Example as an oil.
