Procedure

To a stirred suspension of 6-iodo-3-(3-methoxy-4-((6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (1.40 g, 2.79 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (15 mL) was added 1-methylpiperazine (0.44 g, 4.40 mmol), copper(I) iodide (0.16 g, 0.84 mmol), L-proline (0.19 g, 1.67 mmol), and potassium carbonate (0.96 g, 6.97 mmol). The mixture was degassed under vacuum/backfilled with N2 (×3), and then it was heated to 120° C. As the mixture warmed, it became dark blue/black in color. After 19 h, the brown mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and was diluted with 5N ammonium hydroxide solution (100 mL). The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide 1.78 g of a brown oil. Chromatographic purification (Combi-Flash, 40 g SiO2 gold column, 1-10% 2M ammonia in methanol/dichloromethane elute) afforded 0.60 g (45%) of the product as a tan solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.26 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.18 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.92 (s, 1H), 7.69-7.61 (m, 2H), 6.91-6.84 (m, 2H), 6.80 (dd, J=8.2, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.74 (dd, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 5.34 (s, 2H), 5.02 (s, 2H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.25-3.18 (m, 4H), 2.68-2.61 (m, 4H), 2.38 (s, 3H) ppm; (M+1)=475.
