3-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1-cyclopropyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one → 1-cyclopropyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1-cyclopropyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (120 mg) and 10% Pd—C (17.87 mg) in EtOH (10 mL) was hydrogenated under balloon pressure at room temperature for 2 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 1-cyclopropyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (89 mg) as a white solid.
