Sulfur → HCID 178505782, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 18 parts of N-(4-amino-3-pyridinyl)-N'-[4-[4-[[1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinyl]butyl]thiourea, 7 parts of mercury(II)oxide, 1 part of sulfur and 180 parts of tetrahydrofuran was stirred and refluxed for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered hot over Hyflo and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol saturated with ammonia, (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and trichloromethane, yielding 5 parts (29%) of N-[4-[4-[[1-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]amino]-1-piperidinyl]butyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-amine; mp. 228.2° C. (compound 121).
