Piperidine → 2-(4-Piperidinopropoxyphenyl)-7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Step C (0.2 g) and piperidine (2.0 mL) were heated at reflux temperature for 5 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate (10 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL). The aqueous portion was extracted with additional ethyl acetate (10 mL) and the organic portions combined. The organic portions were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified via silica gel chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol) to give the title compound (0.21 g). This compound can also be named as 7-(methyl-2-[4-(3-piperidin-1-yl-propoxy)-phenyl]-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine. Treatment with 2M HCl in ether afforded the dihydrochloride. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 8.67 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 8.41 (s, 1H), 7.84 (m, 2H), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.36 (dd, J=6.9 Hz, J=1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (m, 2H), 4.22 (t, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 3.64 (d, J=12.5 Hz, 2H), 3.35 (m, 2H), 3.04 (m, 2H), 2.62 (s, 3H), 2.34 (m, 2H), 1.99 (m, 2H), 1.86 (m, 3H), 1.59 (m, 1H); 13C NMR (CD3OD) δ 161.0, 147.1, 141.1, 136.2, 128.5, 128.2, 120.3, 119.3, 115.8, 110.6, 109.9, 65.8, 55.0, 53.8, 24.5, 23.6, 22.1, 21.2, MS (M+H)=350.2 Analysis: Calc'd for C22H27N3O 2HCl (2H2O) C, 57.64; H, 7.26; N, 9.17; Found: C, 57.68; H, 7.13; N, 9.16.
