Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 14 parts of N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-N'-[2-[4-[[3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]methyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]guanidine monohydroiodide and 140 parts of a hydrochloric acid solution 1N was stirred for 48 hours at room temperature. The mixture was treated with a sodium hydroxide solution and the product was extracted with dichloromethane. The extract 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 (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was refluxed with methylbenzene and 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid. The whole was evaporated and the residue was taken up in water and dichloromethane. The mixture was treated with a sodium hydroxide solution and the layers were separated. The organic layer was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was further purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (90:10 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 dried, yielding 0.65 parts (3.7%) of 4-[[3-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl]methyl]-N-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1-piperazineethanamine ethanedioate(1:2); mp. 170.5° C. (compound 124).
