Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 178441502, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-butyl-3-[4-[5-chloro-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-3-thienyl]benzyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (330 mg), 10% palladium on carbon (103 mg), potassium hydroxide (261 mg) and methanol (15 ml) was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through cellulose powder and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water and neutralized with 1N hydrochloric acid. The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration to afford a white powder of 2-butyl-3-[4-[2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-3-thienyl]benzyl]-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (279 mg).
