Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,6-dimethyl-3-piperidin-4-yl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (20 mg, 0.086 mmol) in acetonitrile (0.80 mL) was treated with (R)-(2-iodomethyl-indan-5-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (50 mg, 0.13 mmol) and cesium carbonate (85 mg, 0.26 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 4 hrs. The mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated. Flash chromatography (10/1 CH2Cl2/CH3OH) afforded (R)-{2-[4-(2,6-dimethyl-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-3-yl)-piperidin-1-ylmethyl]-indan-5-yl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (22 mg, 54%) as a light yellow solid.
