Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 16.9 parts of N-(4-amino-3-pyridinyl)-N'-[2-[4-[[3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]methyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]thiourea, 11.4 parts of mercury(II)oxide, 0.1 parts of sulfur and 135 parts of tetrahydrofuran was stirred for 3 hours at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered while hot over diatomaceous earth and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol, saturated with ammonia, (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was stirred in 2,2'-oxybispropane. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 4.73 parts (30.0%) of N-[2-[4-[[3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]methyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-amine; mp. 124.5° C. (compound 123).
