Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-tert-Butyl-phenyl)-7-piperazin-1-yl imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (7) (50 mg, 0.15 mmol) and 2-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carbaldehyde (21 mg, 0.15 mmol) were dissolved in NMP (4 ml) with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (64 mg, 0.30 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 18 hours under nitrogen. It was judged complete by MS, and purified by HPLC Method E to yield the title product 8 (23 mg (33%), 0.05 mmol). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 8.09 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 3H), 7.59 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 6.80 (s, 1H), 3.80-4.00 (m, 8H), 2.84 (q, J=7.7 Hz, 2H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 1.31 (m, 12H). The product 8 was determined to be 96% pure by analytical HPLC. MS (ESI-POS): [M+H]+=458; MS(ESI-NEG):[M−H]−=456.
