A new synthetic route of 6-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,7205-46-1, its application will become more common.

Electric Literature of 7205-46-1 ,Some common heterocyclic compound, 7205-46-1, molecular formula is C7H6ClN3, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc., below Introduce a new synthetic route.

4-Amino-3-ethyl-phenol (100 mg, 0.73 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 6-Chloro-l -methyl- 1H- imidazo[4,5-c]-pyridine (134 mg, 0.80 mmol, 1.1 equiv), Cs2C03 (714 mg, 2.19 mmol, 3.0 equiv), BetaGammaNuAlphaRho (46 mg, 0.07 mmol, 0.1 equiv), and Pd2(dba)3 (33 mg, 0.04 mmol, 0.05 equiv) were dissolved in dry dioxane (5 mL) under N2 atmosphere. The mixture was sonicated for 5 mn under N2 flow and then re fluxed for 20h. Full conversion was observed by LCMS. It was then cooled down and concentrated to dryness, diluted in DCM and washed with water (3x 20 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3x 30 mL) and the combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO i, filtered and concentrated to dryness. Purification was performed by column chromatography using the following eluant: EtOAc/Petroleum Ether (1 : 1) to EtOAc (over 5 CV), MeOH/EtOAc (1 : 19) (10 CV), MeOH/EtOAc (1 :9) (10 CV) to afford the desired compound

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,7205-46-1, its application will become more common.
