Potassium Carbonate → 4-{4-cyano-3-[1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl]phenoxy}pyridine-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl]-4-hydroxybenzonitrile (16-2, 100 mg, 0.30 mmol) in DMSO (4 ml) was charged with Potassium carbonate (82 mg, 0.59 mmol, 2.0 equiv) and 4-Chloro-pyridine-2-carbonitrile (82 mg, 0.59 mmol, 2.0 equiv). The reaction was irradiated at 160° C. for 20 min. The dark mixture was purified via reverse-phase HPLC (Acetonitrile/Water gradient with 0.1% TFA present) to afford the title compound, 4-{4-cyano-3-[1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl]phenoxy}pyridine-2-carbonitrile (3), as a pure yellow-tan solid-oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.64 (d, 1H, J=5.6 Hz), 7.91 (d, 1H, J=8.3 Hz), 7.62 (bs, 1H), 7.54 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 7.36-7.33 (m, 2H), 7.21-7.15 (m, 2H), 3.71 (s, 2H), 3.58 (s, 3H), 1.06 (s, 9H). LRMS m/z: Calc'd for C25H22N6O2 (M+H) 439.0. found 439.1.
