Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (6-{[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amino]-methyl}-2,3-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)-bis-cyclopropylmethyl-amine (0.220 g, 3.7 mmol.) in DMF (8 mL) was added 60% sodium hydride (0.017 g, 0.741 mmol.) at 0° C. and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 min. and then methyl iodide (0.046 mL, 0.0741 mmol.) was added and continued to stir for 30 min. The crude product was extracted with ethyl acetate (250 mL), washed with water (250 mL×2) and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography using 230-400 mesh silica gel eluting with 1:1 hexane: ethyl acetate yielded 0.010 gm (yield: 4.4%) of pure colorless gummy compound.
