Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.5 g of 4-chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazo(4,5-c)pyridine, 7.1 g of 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol, 3.3 g of KOH and 100 ml of acetonitrile is refluxed for 7 hours. The solvent is removed and the residue is worked up in the customary manner (water/methylene chloride) to give 4-o-Chlorobenzyloxy-1-methyl-1H-imidazo(4,5-c)pyridine, m.p. 132°-135°.
