Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

660 mg (11 mmol) of glacial acetic acid were added dropwise to 860 mg (10 mmol) of piperazine with cooling, then 180 mg of 3,5-dibenzyl-2-methanesulphonyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-one (crude product from Example 3 h) were added and the mixture was stirred for 24 hours at 150° C. After cooling approx. 10 ml of water were added, the mixture was made alkaline with concentrated ammonia solution and the mixture was extracted three times with 5 ml of dichloromethane. The extracts were dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by evaporation. The crude product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; eluant:petroleum ether with 20–60% ethyl acetate).
