Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-bromo-4-[4-(4-chloro-benzyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-3-nitro-pyridin-2-ylamine (0.064 g, 0.15 mmol) and EtOH (6.5 ml) was added 4-morpholin-4-ylmethyl-benzaldehyde (0.038 g, 0.18 mmol) followed by a freshly prepared aqueous solution of Na2S2O4 (1M; 0.60 ml, 0.60 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 9 h, then allowed to cool to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was absorbed on silica gel, the free-running powder was placed on a 10 g isolute silica column and elution with a gradient of methanol (0 to 9%) in ethyl acetate/dichloromethane (v:v; 1:1) afforded a yellow solid. The title compound was obtained as a pale yellow solid after trituration with diethyl ether (0.003 g, 3%). 1H-NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) 2.38 (br s, 4H) and 3.59 (t, J=4.5 Hz, 4H) (morpholine N(CH2)2 and morpholine O(CH2)2), 2.61 (br s, 4H, piperazine N(CH2)2), 3.66 (br s, 4H, piperazine N(CH2)2), 3.54 (s, 2H) and 3.57 (s, 2H) (NCH2—C6H4Cl and C6H4CH2), 7.41 (m, 4H, C6H4Cl), 7.47 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H) and 8.14 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H) (3,5-C6H4 and 2,6-C6H4), 8.23 (s, 1H, imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine 5-H), 13.48 (br s, 1H, imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine N—H);
