Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 68091199, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 6-(1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-2-(2-ethylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (61 mg) and methanol (5 ml), sodium borohydride (20 mg) was added under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, and then 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was poured, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 40 mg of 2-(2-ethylsulfanyl-phenyl)-3-methyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (hereinafter referred to as Present Compound 165).
