Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[5-(benzyloxy)-2-isopropoxyphenyl]-5-(chloromethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (0.11 g) and potassium cyanide (30 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 16 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC, and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added to the obtained fraction to neutralize the mixture. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane, and the extract was concentrated to give the title compound (56 mg, yield 52%) as colorless crystals. purity 90%. M+H: 399.
