Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-acetic acid (3.0 g, 0.010 mole) 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (1.7 g, 0.010 mole) and dry tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) was stirred for 3 hrs. at room temperature with a stream of nitrogen bubbling through it. A solution of 1.0 g of dimethylamine in 25 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added and the reaction container was stoppered and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The tetrahydrofuran was evaporated and the residue triturated in water (50 ml) and filtered. The filter cake was recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol and then from ethanol, giving 2.4 g (32%) of white needles, mp 212°-213° C.
