There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the 22H17BrN6. The dihedral angles between the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine mean plane and the phenyl rings are 20.4 (2) and 24.0 (2)° in the two molecules. The orientation of triazoles compared to the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine system is almost the same in both molecules, with dihedral angles of 64.2 (2) and 65.1 (2)°. However, the main difference between the two molecules lies in the arrangement of the phenyl groups compared to imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine in each molecule. Indeed, in the first molecule the dihedral angle between the plane of the phenyl ring and that of the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine system is 67.7 (2)°, while in the second molecule the plane of the phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to that of the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine system with a dihedral angle of 86.0 (2)°.

To a solution of 6-bromo-2-phenyl-3-(prop-2-ynyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (0.2 g, 0.64 mmol) in ethanol (15 ml) was added benzyl azide (0.1 ml, 0.77 mmol). The mixture was stirred under reflux for 72 h. After completion of reaction (monitored by TLC), the solution was concentrated and the residue was purified by
on silica gel by using a mixture (hexane/ethyl acetate 2/1). Crystals were obtained when the solvent was allowed to evaporate.H atoms were located in a difference map and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å for all H atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(aromatic, methine) and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(methyl).
The reflections 002, -102 and -202 were omitted because the difference between their calculated and observed intensities are very large. They are affected by the beamstop.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

This work is a result of an extensive program of scientific research on the synthesis and characterization of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine and its derivatives started in the laboratory since two years (Ouzidan, Obbade et al. 2010; Ouzidan, Rodi et al. 2010). It is motivated by numerous applications of these compounds in medicinal chemistry (Passannanti et al., (1998); Tomczuk et al., (1991)). Furthermore, the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine moiety is also an important heterocyclic nucleus which has been used extensively in medicinal chemistry. In fact, the heterocycles derived from these intermediates have been tested for their potential as anti-neuroinflammatory (Jiyeon et al., (2010); Bavetsias et al., (2007).
In this work we have synthesized 3-((3-benzyl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)- 6-bromo-2-phenyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of benzyl azide with 6-bromo-2-phenyl-3-(prop-2-ynyl)-3H-imidazo [4,5-b]pyridine.
The plot of the two molecules building the asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of 3-((3-benzyl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-6-bromo-2- phenyl-3H-ιmidazo[4,5-b]pyridine is shown in Fig. 1. The two cycles forming the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine are almost planar and form dihedral angles with the phenyl rings of 20.4 (2)° and 24.0 (2)°, in the first and in the second molecule respectively. Moreover, the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine system is 67.7 (2) °, in the first while in the second molecule the phenyl is almost perpendicular to the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine system with a dihedral angle of 86.0 (2) ° as shown in Fig.2 which represents the fitting of the two molecules.
