Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 1.07 g (0.0028 mol) of 4-(5-dimethylamino-1-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in CH2Cl2 (7 mL) was added 7 mL of TFA. After 35 min, the solvent was removed. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc (200 mL) and 1 N NaOH (150 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to afford 0.74 g (96%) of 5-dimethylamino-1-methyl-3-piperidin-4-yl-1,3-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one as a white/pink solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 6.95 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.08 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 4.35 (tt, J=12.1 Hz, 4.0 Hz, 1H), 3.25 (s, 3H), 3.14 (d, J=12.4 Hz, 2H) 2.97 (s, 6H), 2.66 (td, J=12.9 Hz, 1.3 Hz, 2H), 2.53 (qd, J=12.4 Hz, 4.0 Hz, 2H), 1.69 (d, J=11.9 Hz, 2H).
