Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-acetamide (0.3 g, 0.00096 mole), glacial acetic acid (2.5 ml), and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (0.66 g, 0.00384 mole) was heated at 60° C. for a total of 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and the organic acid which precipitated was filtered. The aqueous filtrate was neutralized for peroxides with 10% sodium sulfite. The aqueous solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride. The methylene chloride was extracted with a minimum of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The methylene chloride was dried and evaporated to a residue which crystallized upon standing. The solid was recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran-hexanes with refrigeration overnight. The solid was collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum overnight to give 0.28 g (88 %) of the title compound, mp 200°-201.5° C.
