Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-ethyl-7-methylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (22.2 g, 0.113 mol) in 30% HBr-HOAc was heated to 100° C. for 19 h. The mixture was poured onto ice, neutralized with NH4OH, extracted (5×EtOAc), and the organic layers were concentrated to afford 5-bromo-2-ethyl-7-methylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine as a solid, after crystallization from EtOAc.
