HCID 215569715,6-Dichloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine

Procedure

1-Hydroxy-5-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazo [4,5-b] pyridine (100 milligrams) was mixed with 10milliliters of thionyl chloride and the mixture refluxed on a steam bath for ten hours. The thionyl chloride was then evaporated and the residue, the desired 5,6-dichloro-2-(trifluoromethyl) -1H-imidazo [4,5-b] pyridine product, was shaken with water and separated by filtration, m.p. 222° -24° C.
