Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of 5-bromopyridine-2,3-diamine (5.0 g, 27 mmol) in NMP (20 mL) was added isothiocyanatoethane (2.3 mL, 26 mmol). The resulting solution was heated (65° C.) for four hours and then cooled to ambient temperature before 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (4.2 mL, 27 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours, diluted with water and the resulting suspension was collected by filtration. Trituration with ethyl acetate provided 6-bromo-N-ethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-amine (4.8 g, 75% yield) as a brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 11.41 (bs, 1H), 7.91 (s, 1H), 7.53 (s, 1H), 7.17 (s, 1H), 3.33 (q, 2H), 1.17 (t, 3H); MS (ES) for C8H9BrN4: 241 (MH+).
