Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the crude 1-[2-(2-ethylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone from Production Example 110-a (778 mg), methanol (5 ml), and THF (20 ml), sodium borohydride (109 mg) was added under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, and then 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was poured, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 170 mg of 1-[2-(2-ethylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-6-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanol (hereinafter referred to as Present Compound 265).
