Reaction Steps

A solution of crude (S)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-[2-dimethylamino) ethyl]-α-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-acetamide (1.49 g, 0.00335 mole) in hot isopropyl alcohol was treated with hydrogen chloride in isopropyl alcohol until the solution was acidic. Upon addition of isopropyl ether, solid precipitated.
