A mixture of 6-chloropyridine-3,4-diamine (4.00 g, 27.86 mmol) in formic acid (20.0 mL) was heated at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a brown oil, which was partitioned between EtOAc (300 mL) and a sat'd aq NaHCO3 (100 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by SiO2 chromatography eluting with a MeOH/DCM gradient (6% to 9% MeOH) to afford 3.5 g (82%) of 6-chloro-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine as white solid, MS (ESI): m/z=154.1 [M+1]+.
