Reaction Steps

3-[4'-(2-Ethyl-5,7-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrid-3-ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-yl)-4-isopropoxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (0.44 g; preparable as in Example 2) was stirred in saturated ethanolic ammonia solution (10 ml) at ambient temperature for 3 hours and then kept at ambient temperature for approximately 16 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the resulting residue was triturated with diethyl ether to give an off-white solid which was dried in vacuo to give 3-amino-4-[4'-(2-ethyl-5,7-dimethyl -3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyrid-3-ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-yl]cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (0.25g; m.p. 217° C.), an active compound of the present invention.
