Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

448 mg of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (purity of 65% or more) was added to a mixture of 420 mg of 2-(4-ethylsulfanylpyridin-3-yl)-3-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine and 9 ml of chloroform under ice cooling. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour, then stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. A saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was poured to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with water and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was applied to a silica gel column chromatography to obtain 215 mg of 2-(4-ethylsulfinylpyridin-3-yl)-3-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (hereinafter, referred to as Compound of Present Invention 10) and 211 mg of 2-(4-ethylsulfonylpyridin-3-yl)-3-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (hereinafter, referred to as Compound of Present Invention 11).
