Reaction Steps

3-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (0.52 g, 1.86 mmol), TEA (0.41 g, 4.09 mmol), and HOBt (0.50 g, 3.72 mmol) were added sequentially to a solution of 3,4-diamino-1-benzyl-1H-pyridin-2-one (0.40 g, 1.86 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) at room temp. After the solution was cooled to 0° C., EDCI (0.71 g, 3.72 mmol) was added and the resulting solution was allowed to stir, with warming to room temp, for 17 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) extracted with CH2Cl2, dried with MgSO4, and concentrated. The crude [3-(4-amino-1-benzyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridin-3-ylcarbamoyl)-cyclohexyl]-carbamic acid benzyl ester (0.57 g, 1.20 mmol) was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (7.21 g, 120.1 mmol), and heated at 120° C. for 2 days. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the cyclized product was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with 3% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to give [3-(5-benzyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl)-cyclohexyl]-carbamic acid benzyl ester (0.25 g, 30% for 2 steps). 1H-NMR (DMSO): δ 7.46 (m, 1H), 7.25-7.38 (m, 10H), 6.57 (m, 1H), 5.20 (s, 2H), 5.01 (s, 2H), 3.41 (m, 1H), 2.89 (m, 1H), 2.13 (m, 1H), 1.80 (m, 3H), 1.42 (m, 2H), 1.21 (m, 2H). MS: calculated for C27H28N4O3+H 457.2; found: 457.5.
