Dimethylamine → HCID 14390310, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-(3-bromophenyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-acetic acid (6.0 g, 0.018 mole), and 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (2.9 g, 0.018 mole), in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (175 ml) was stirred at room temperature with a stream of nitrogen bubbling through it for 4 hours. The nitrogen flow was stopped and a solution of dimethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (72 ml of 0.5M) was added. The solution was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 1/2 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated in vacuo and the residue triturated in water (100 ml) and filtered. The filter cake was recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran-isopropyl ether, giving 4.5 g (70%). Recrystallization from isopropyl alcohol-isopropyl ether gave 4.0 g of cream colored needles, mp 144°-146° C.
