Reaction Steps

5-Chloro-3-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (71-4, 2.37 g, 11.31 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and Cs2CO3 (18.42 g, 56.6 mmol, 5.0 equiv) were added sequentially to anhydrous NMP (18.6 mL). Neopentyl iodide (2.70 mL, 20.35 mmol, 1.8 equiv) was added dropwise and the resulting mixture was heated to 100° C. for 24 h. Following this duration, the contents were cooled to RT and diluted with EtOAc (50 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (50 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was back-extracted with 3×50 mL EtOAc. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give a brown semi-solid. Purification by normal-phase HPLC provided 5-chloro-1-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-3-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (71-5) as a white solid. HRMS (M+H)+: observed=280.1207, calculated=280.1211.
