Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → [1-ethyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl]methyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1.241 mL) was added to a solution of [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) in THF (dry) (1 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under a dry atmosphere (CaCl2 tube) for 30 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluted with 20%-100% EtOAc in hexane) to give [1-ethyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl]methyl acetate (170 mg) as a white solid.
