Triethylamine → N-{4-[4-amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-6-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl]butyl}-2-methylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isobutyryl chloride (181 μL, 1.73 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-(4-aminobutyl)-2-ethoxymethyl-6-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-amine (0.435 g, 1.57 mmol), triethylamine (280 μL, 2.04 mmol) and chloroform (8 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 4 hours then it was diluted with chloroform (20 mL) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (30 g of silica gel eluting with 1 L of 2% methanol in chloroform containing 0.5% triethylamine) to provide 0.225 g of N-{4-[4-amino-2-(ethoxymethyl)-6-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-1-yl]butyl}-2-methylpropanamide as a white powder, m.p. 170.5-172.5° C.
