p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 19911539, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 37.8 parts of N-[3-[(2-ethoxyethyl)amino]-4-pyridinyl]-4-(phenylmethyl)-1-piperazineacetamide, 0.1 parts of 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid and 450 parts of dimethylbenzene was stirred for 16 hours at reflux temperature using a water separator. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (93:7 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated, yielding 20.2 parts (56.1%) of 3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-2-[[4-(phenylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl]methyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine as a residue (compound 11).
