Procedure

To a suspension of sodium hydride (345 mg, 60% in oil, 8.6 mmol) in dry DMF (10 mL) was added 5,7-dimethyl-2-ethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (1.5 g, 8.6 mmol) under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until the evolution of gas subsided. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of methyl 4'-bromomethylbiphenyl-2-carboxylate (2.7 g, 8.84 mmol) in dry DMF (5 mL) was added dropwise. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water (250 mL), the pH was adjusted to pH 6 by the addition of 1N HCl, and the product was extracted into ethyl acetate. Flash chromatography (silica, ethyl acetate) gave 4'-[[5,7-dimethyl-2-ethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl]methyl][1,1'-biphenyl-2-yl]carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.05 g, 61%) as an amorphous solid.
