LiHMDS (3.0 eq) was added to ethyl 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylacetate (1.0 eq) in THF at −78° C. After 20 minutes, a solution of 2-aminobenzenecarbonitrile (1.1 eq) in THF was added. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature, stirred for 3 hours, and then refluxed overnight. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and quenched with an aqueous saturated NH4Cl solution. A precipitate formed, was filtered off, and was washed repeatedly with ether to yield the desired compound as a light brown solid. LC/MS m/z 278.2 (MH+), Rt 1.82 minutes.
