Participants

Reaction Steps

930 mg of 6-[(E)-2-(6-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)-vinyl]-4-methyl-pyridin-2-ylamine (compound A11) are suspended in 300 ml of methanol. Subsequently, 805 μl acetic acid and 96 mg of Adam's catalyst [platin(IV) oxide] are added. The suspension is vigorously stirred for 65 h. Thereafter, the solution is passed through kieselguhr, which is rinsed with methanol. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness and the remaining residue (1.20 g) purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol=20:1) to afford 690 mg of the title compound as colorless powder after lyophilization from 15.0 ml dioxane and 3.0 ml water. M.p. 216° C. ESI-MS: 332.1/334.2 (MH+, 97%/100%). TLC: Rf=0.35 (dichloromethane/methanol 10:1).
