PD-169316 → 4-[4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]benzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-imidazole (2.0 g. 5.6 mmol) [See Ex. 26 above] and 10% palladium on activated carbon (0.4 g) was stirred under an atmosphere of H2 for 4 h, then was filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a solvent gradient of 1-10% MeOH/CHCl3. The title compound was obtained as a light orange solid (0.50 g, 27%): 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): d 8.40 (d, 2H); 7.73 (d, 2H); 7.57 (m, 2H); 7.35 (m, 4H); 6.62 (t, 2H).
