Route Selection and Optimization in the Synthesis of Two Imidazopyridine Inhibitors of DGAT-2
2018
The scalable syntheses of two imidazopyridine inhibitors of the enzyme diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT-2) are described. 6-Chloro-3-nitro-2-aminopyridine was the starting material for the convergent synthesis of the central imidazopyridine ring. Differentiation in reactivity of the C2- and C3-nitrogen substituents on the pyridine ring and the development of mild cyclodehydration conditions to form the imidazole ring were critical problems that were addressed to deliver a 3-kg batch of compound 1 (PF-06424439) and a 0.1-kg batch of compound 2 (PF-06450561).
