Sodium hydride → 3-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1-(difluoromethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Difluorochloroacetic acid sodium salt (1.922 g) was added to a solution of 3-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (2 g), lithium bromide (1.095 g) and NaH (0.290 g) in DMF(20 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 140° C. under a dry atmosphere (CaCl2 tube) for 1 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with MeOH and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (NH silica gel, eluted with 0%-30% EtOAc in hexane) to give 3-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1-(difluoromethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (420 mg) as a white solid.
