Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 1.12 parts of 3-furancarboxylic acid, 2 parts of N,N-diethylethanamine and 195 parts of dichloromethane were added 2.6 parts of 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide. After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, 3.6 parts of 4-[[3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]methyl]-1-piperazine-ethanamine and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water and the layers were separated. The organic layer was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol, saturated with ammonia (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was converted into the ethanedioate salt in 2-propanol. The salt was filtered off and crystallized from acetonitrile. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 2.4 parts (39.6%) of N-[2-[4-[[3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]methyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-3-furancarboxamide ethanedioate(1:2); 132.2° C. (compound 110).
