Triethylamine → HCID 14390286, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, oxalyl chloride (1.73 g, 0.014 mole) was added slowly to a stirred and chilled (10°-15° C.) suspension of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-acetic acid (3.7 g, 0.013 mole) in 50 ml of dry dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was heated between 60°-90° C. for 5 hours. The solution of the acyl chloride was added dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere to a stirred, chilled (10°-15° C.) solution of 2-aminopyridine (1.77 g, 0.019 mole), and triethylamine (1.90 g, 0.019 mole) in 75 ml of dry dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water, diluted with water to the cloud point, and seeded. The crystalline solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried under high vacuum at 70° C. for 2 hours, then at 60° C. overnight to give 1.0 g (20%) of crystals, mp 190°-191° C.
