Reaction Steps

To a solution of rel-1-[(1S,2R)-2-methylcyclohexyl]-3-(3-nitrobenzyl)-3,6-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2(1H)-one (150 mg) in a mixed solution of ethanol (1.5 mL) and water (0.45 mL) were added iron powder (62 mg) and ammonium chloride (10 mg). The solution was refluxed for 3 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the precipitate was filtered through a pad of Celite. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was extracted with chloroform and washed with water and dried over MgSO4. Concentration under reduced pressure to give 3-(3-aminobenzyl)-1-[(1S,2R)-2-methylcyclohexyl]-3,6-dihydroimidazo[4,5-d]pyrrolo[2,3-b]-pyridin-2(1H)-one (139 mg) as a white powder.
