Methanol → ethyl 6-[p-[5-(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylthio)pentyloxy]phenoxy]-2,2-dimethylhexanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 570 mg 2-mercapto-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine and 18 ml methanol, was added a mixture of 166 mg sodium hydroxide, 6 ml water and 1.8 g ethyl 6-[p-(5-bromopentyloxy)phenoxy]-2,2-dimethylhexanoate. The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 12 hours, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, affording 610 mg ethyl 6-[p-[5-(1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylthio)pentyloxy]phenoxy]-2,2-dimethylhexanoate as waxy solid.
