Participants

Reaction Steps

553 mg (4.0 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 0.48 ml (4.0 mmol) of benzyl bromide were added to a solution of 362 mg (2.0 mmol) of 2-methylmercapto-3,5-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-one in 5.0 ml of dimethylformamide and this mixture was stirred for three hours at ambient temperature. Then it was diluted with 10 ml of water and extracted three times with 10 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried and evaporated down, the crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluant:dichloromethane with 0–3% ethanol).
