The imidazopyridine fused ring in the title compound, C20H16BrN3O·H2O, is coplanar with the aromatic ring at the 2-position [dihedral angle = 5.2 (1)°]. In the five-membered imidazo portion, the C—N bond whose C atom is also connected to the pyridine N atom has predominantly double-bond character [1.334 (2) Å] whereas the C—N bond whose atom is connected to the pyridine C atom has predominantly single-bond character [1.371 (2) Å]. The water molecule engages in hydrogen bonding with the latter N atom; it is also connected to a symmetry-related water molecule, generating a linear chain structure.

To a solution of the 6-bromo-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (0.33 g, 1.21 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.20 g, 1.42 mmol) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (0.04 g (0,1 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was added benzyl chloride (0.15 ml, 1.31 mmol). Stirring was continued at room temperature for 12 hours. The salt was removed by filtration and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a column of silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane (1/1) as
Yellow 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 a class of sedative drugs. In the previous study, we reacted 6-bromo-2-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine with benzyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic quantity of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide under mild conditions to form 4-benzyl-6-bromo-2-phenyl-4H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (Ouzidan et al., 2010). The study is extended to the synthesis of the 2(4-methoxyphenyl) analog to furnish the title hydrate (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The imidazopyridine fused-ring in the C20H16BrN3O molecule is co-planar with the aromatic ring at the 2-position [dihedral angle 5.2 (1) °]. In the five-membered imidazo portion, the carbon–nitrogen bond whose carbon atom is also connected to the pyridine nitrogen atom is a double bond [1.334 (2) Å] whereas the carbon–nitrogen bond whose atom is connected to the pyridine carbon atom is a single bond [1.371 (2) Å]. The water molecule engages in hydrogen bonding with the latter nitrogen atom; it is also connected to a symmetry-related water molecule to generate a linear chain structure.
