Procedure

n-Butyllithium was added to a solution at −78° C. of 7-chloro-2-(1-ethyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (13, scheme 4) in tetrahydrofuran and stirred for about 15 minutes. Methyl iodide was added slowly and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. until completion of the reaction. The mixture was quenched with water then allowed to warm to room temperature. The aqueous solution was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, then dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (eluent: 100% DCM to 2% MeOH/98% DCM) to afford the title compound 107 (as a mixture with about 15% of the starting material 13) as a yellow solid (190 mg, 80% yield). MS (m/z): 278.0 (M+H).
