Acetic Anhydride → [1-ethyl-2-oxo-3-(4-{[tris(1-methylethyl)silyl]oxy}phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl]methyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 1-ethyl-7-methyl-3-(4-{[tris(1-methylethyl)silyl]oxy}phenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one 4-oxide (500 mg) in acetic anhydride (10 mL) was stirred at 80° C. under a dry atmosphere (CaCl2 tube) for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluted with 0%-30% EtOAc in hexane) to give [1-ethyl-2-oxo-3-(4-{[tris(1-methylethyl)silyl]oxy}phenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl]methyl acetate (300 mg) as colorless oil.
