Procedure

A mixture of 3-amino-4-(4'-cyanophenyl)aminopyridine (420 mg, 2.0 mmol) (prepared as above), trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate (232 mg, 2.0 mmol), and sodium metabisulphite (475 mg, 2.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (10 ml) was heated under reflux for 16 hours. After being cooled, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 ml), washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (50 ml) and water (5×50 ml). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (eluting with ethyl acetate) to give 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-2-trifluoromethylimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine, 337 mg.
