Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(2-ethyl-5,7-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)phenyl]ethylamine (step 9, 1.2 g, 4.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was added p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate (805 mg, 4.0 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. After removal of solvent, the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (20:1) to afford 1.10 g (56%) of the title compound as white solids: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.85 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.32 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz), 7.23 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 7.16 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 6.91 (1H, s), 6.12 (1H, br.s), 3.55–3.46 (2H, m), 2.85 (2H, t, J=6.3 Hz), 2.74–2.64 (5H, m), 2.42 (3H, s), 2.41 (3H, s), 1.21 (3H, t, J=7.6 Hz).
