5-(Benzyloxy)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (2.00 g, 8.88 mmol) was dissolved in THF and NaH (0.18 g, 14.7 mmol) was added portionwise. The resulting mixture was heated in a sealed tube for 1 h and then cooled to room temperature. Bromocycloheptane (3.14 g, 17.8 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated to 70° C. overnight. The solution was then diluted with ether and washed with water. The aqueous layer was back extracted with additional ether and the combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and purified by preparative HPLC. The resulting 5-(benzyloxy)-3-cycloheptyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine was then dissolved in MeOH with catalytic amount of 5% Pd/C and excess ammonium formate. The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. until the reaction was complete. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified via preparative HPLC to give the title compound (0.356 g). LCMS m/z=232.1 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetonitrile-d3) δ ppm 1.55-1.80 (m, 6H), 1.80-1.90 (m, 2H), 2.05-2.20 (m, 4H), 4.50-4.60 (m, 1H), 6.57 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.85 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.96 (s, 1H).
