Reaction Steps

To a stirred and refluxed mixture of 13.5 parts of 2-[[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]methyl]-3-[2-(2-propenyloxy)ethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine and 90 parts of methylbenzene were added dropwise 5.4 parts of ethyl carbonochloridate. Upon complete addition, stirring was continued for 1 hour at reflux temperature. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and the whole was treated with potassium carbonate. The product was extracted with methylbenzene. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 14 parts (75.1%) of ethyl 4-[[3-[2-(2-propenyloxy)ethyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-yl]methyl]-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a residue (compound 43).
