Reaction Steps

To a pressure-resistant reaction container, 5-bromo-2-(2-ethylsulfanylphenyl)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (1.74 g), copper (II) acetylacetone (0.26 g), acetylacetone (0.50 g), cesium carbonate (3.25 g), NMP (9 ml), and 28% of aqueous ammonia (4 ml) were added, and stirred at 120° C. for 6 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was poured, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 1.20 g of 6-amino-2-(2-ethylsulfanylphenyl)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (hereinafter referred to as Present Compound 125).
