Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-[3-(aminooxy)propyl]-6,7-dimethyl-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-amine (0.64 g, 2.3 mmol) and acetophenone (325 μL, 2.76 mmol) in methanol (23 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature, then heated at 50° C. for 4 hours. Pyridine hydrochloride (100 mg) was added to the solution and stirring was continued at 50° C. overnight. Additional pyridine hydrochloride was added and the solution was heated at reflux for 5 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting off-white solid was partitioned between chloroform (100 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium carbonate (30 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform (3×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate (2×20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by chromatography on a HORIZON HPFC system (silica gel, gradient elution with 5-30% CMA in chloroform) to yield a solid that was triturated with acetonitrile and dried under vacuum at 70° C. overnight to provide 105 mg of (1E)-1-phenylethanone O-[3-(4-amino-6,7-dimethyl-2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)propyl]oxime as a white powder, mp 125.0-127.0° C. Anal. Calcd for C22H29N5O: C, 69.63; H, 7.70; N, 18.45. Found: C, 69.41; H, 7.73; N, 18.36.
