Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 4-(2-butyl-6,7-dimethyl-4-phenoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)butan-1-amine (122 mg, 0.33 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane and triethylamine (0.093 mL, 0.67 mmol). The solution was cooled in an ice-water bath and 4-[[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy](phenyl)methyl]benzoyl chloride (106 mg, 0.33 mmol) was dissolved/slurried in dichloromethane and added dropwise. The ice bath was removed and the reaction was stirred for an additional 16 hours. The reaction was quenched with 10% aqueous sodium carbonate. The phases were separated and the aqueous fraction was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic fractions were combined, washed with water followed by brine, dried (Na2SO4), decanted and evaporated to yield a yellow oil. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 92:8 dichloromethane/methanol gradient to 95:5 dichloromethane/methanol) provided 101 mg of N-[4-(2-butyl-6,7-dimethyl-4-phenoxy-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl)butyl]-4-[[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy](phenyl)methyl]benzamide as a pale yellow solid. The product was determined to be 97+% pure by HPLC.
