Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 mL of methanol, 74 mg (0.28 mmol) of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carbonitrile prepared in Step A was dissolved, and 2 mL of a 4N hydrogen chloride dioxane solution was added thereto, and the mixture solution was refluxed under heating with stirring for four hours. The solvent was distilled under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (10 mL×2) and a sodium hydrogencarbonate aqueous solution (10 mL). The combined organic layers was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The solvent was distilled and the residue was separated by Megabond Elute Silica Gel (2 g, dichloromethane:methanol=30:1) to obtain 34 mg (41%) of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a white solid.
