HCID 1140TolueneSolvent

Procedure

A solution of 0.1 g of 5-(p-tert-butylaminocarbonylphenyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine in 3 ml of toluene is treated with 40 μl of phosphorus oxychloride at 90° for 5 h. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is redissolved in 30 ml of chloroform at 0°. An ice-cold ammonium hydroxide solution is added and the organic phase is separated, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue is chromatographed on silica with ethyl acetate to yield the title compound, m.p. 117°-118°.
