Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5,7-dimethyl-2-ethyl-3-[2'-(aminosulfonyl)[1,1']-biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (122 mg, 0.29 mmol) in THF (1.5 mL) at 0° C. was added sodium hexamethyldisilazine (0.35 mL of a 1M solution in THF). After 10 min, a solution of BrCN (37 mg, 0.35 mmol) in THF (1 ml) was added dropwise via a double tipped needle. The reaction was warmed to r.t. and stirred for 3 h at which time 0.3 mL of HOAc was added. Extraction with CH2Cl2 (5×30 mL) from H2O (30 mL), evaporation of the organic extracts and purification (SiO2, 80:19:1 CH2Cl2 /CH3OH/NH4OH) gave 5,7-dimethyl-2-ethyl-3-[2'-(N-cyanoaminosulfonyl)[1,1']-biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine as a glass.
