Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)pyridine-2,3-diamine (71-3, 9.52 g, 51.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added to anhydrous DMF (55 mL) to give a dark purple solution. Bis(2,5-dioxocyclopentyl)carbonate (13.18 g, 51.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added in one portion to give a dark green solution. The resulting reaction mixture was then heated to 80° C. After 18 h, the reaction contents were cooled to RT, diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and added slowly to saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (200 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was back-extracted with 3×100 mL EtOAc. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give a dark purple residue. Purification by normal-phase HPLC provided 5-chloro-3-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (71-4) as a tan solid. LRMS (M+H)+: observed=210.0, calculated=209.6.
