The imidazopyridine fused-ring in the title compound, C20H16BrN3O, is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 Å). The phenyl rings of the benzyl substitutents twist away from the central five-membered ring in opposite directions; the rings are aligned at 61.3 (1) and 71.2 (1)° with respect to this ring.

To a mixture of 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (1 mmol), potassium carbonate (4 mmol) and benzyltributylammonium chloride (0.1 mmol) in DMF was added benzyl chloride (2.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 48 hours. After completion of reaction (monitored by TLC), the inorganic salt was filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by
on silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/1) as Colorless crystals were isolated when the solvent was allowed to evaporate.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93-0.97 Å) and were included in the

Imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines are precursors for the synthesis of a variety of medicinal agents as compounds having the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine fused-ring system possess a broad range of pharmacological activities (Barraclough et al., 1990; Cundy et al., 1997; Desarro et al., 1994; Liu et al., 2008; Mader et al., 2008; Zaki & Proença, 2007).
The present study represents the synthesis of the substituted an imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one derivative by the direct action of benzyl chloride on 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one in boiling DMF.
The imidazopyridine fused-ring in C20H16BrN3O (Scheme I, Fig. 1) is planar (r.m.s. deviation 0.011 Å). The phenyl rings of the benzyl substitutents twist away from the central five-membered ring in opposite directions; the rings are aligned at 61.3 (1) and 71.2 (1) ° with respect to this ring.
The temperature of the reaction, in the case of propargyl bromide, governs the nature of the product (Dahmani et al., 2010a, 2010b).
