Methanesulfonyl chloride → HCID 178478247, compound

Temperature

50 °C

A 50 mL round bottom flask set up with a reflux condenser under nitrogen atmosphere was charged 4-azabenzimidazole N-oxide (1.2 g, 8.88 mmol) and 11 mL of DMF. This was heated to 50° C. and methanesulfonyl chloride (1.86 ml, 23.98 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe. The resulting mixture was heated to 80° C. and stirred at this temperature for 16 hours. This was cooled to room temperature and quenched with water (approximately 10 mL) and reaction mixture brought to pH 7 by adding 6N NaOH aqueous solution. The reaction was extracted four times with dichloromethane (50 mL). Some product was present in aqueous layer; this was concentrated and residue set aside. The combined organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The material was purified via column chromatography (RediSep 40 g column, gradient elution 0-10% MeOH:DCM) to afford 7-chloro-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (450 mg, 33.0% yield). MS [M+H]=154.2. Calc'd C6H4ClN3=153.56.
