Calcium Chloride → (1-ethyl-3-{4-[(3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)oxy]phenyl}-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl)methyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (110 mg) was added to a solution of [1-ethyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl]methyl acetate (170 mg) and potassium tert-butoxide (69.9 mg) in DMA (1 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at 100° C. under a dry atmosphere (CaCl2 tube) for 30 min. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (NH silica gel, eluted with 0%-100% EtOAc in hexane) to give (1-ethyl-3-{4-[(3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)oxy]phenyl}-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-7-yl)methyl acetate (10 mg) as colorless crystals.
