Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.0 g of 5-(p-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine in 120 ml of anhydrous ethanol containing 30 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid, is hydrogenated with 1.0 g of 10% palladium on charcoal at 40 psi hydrogen and 60° for 4 h. The catalyst is filtered and the solvent is evaporated to yield a solid which is recrystallized from isopropanol and ether to provide the title compound, m.p. 164°-166°.
