Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-((6-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)methyl)-2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazole (522 mg, 1.39 mmol) and m-CPBA (282 mg, 1.39 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was washed with aq Na2S2O3 and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 1:1 to 1:5 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate to give 6-((6-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)methyl)-2-(methylsulfinyl)benzo[d]oxaz-ole as a light yellow solid (400 mg, 73.7%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.69 (s, 1H), 8.48 (s, 1H), 8.40 (s, 1H), 7.68 (s, 1H), 7.58 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.34 (d, J=9.3 Hz, 1H), 5.60 (s, 2H), 2.73 (s, 3H). LCMS (ESI) m/z 390 (M+H)+.
