N,N-Diethylethylenediamine → HCID 14390350, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-(4-chlorophenyl-3-H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-3-acetic acid (6.0 g, 0.021 mole), 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (3.39 g, 0.021 mole) and dry tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours with nitrogen bubbling through it. A solution of N,N-diethylethylenediamine (7.32 g, 0.063 mole) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated to a solid. The solid was triturated with water (50 ml), filtered, and the filter cake was rinsed twice with water, twice with a 5% potassium hydroxide solution and twice with water. The resulting solid was dissolved in hot isopropyl alcohol, filtered hot and cooled to room temperature. Addition of water caused a white solid to form. The solid was collected by filtration and rinsed with water to give 4.21 g (52%) of a white solid. A 1.0-g sample of the solid was dried under high vacuum at room temperature to give a white solid, mp 142°-143° C.
