SYNTHESIS OF 3-FLUORO-(1H-IMIDAZOL-2-YL)BENZENE

[0195]

[0196] Saturated ammonium hydroxide solution (30 mL) is slowly added to a solution of 3-fluorobenzaldehyde (12.4 g, 100 mmol) and glyoxal (17.5 mL of 40% wt in water, 120 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) at ambient temperature. After stirring for 24 hours, most of the solvent is removed at reduced pressure. Benzene is added and evaporated to remove residual water. The resulting dark oil is purified by chromatography on silica gel (2% MeOH / CH2Cl2) to obtain a tan solid. Trituration with ether / hexane provides 3-fluoro-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene as a white solid. LRMS m / z (M+1) 163.2.

SYNTHESIS OF 3-CHLORO-4-FLUORO-(1H-IMIDAZOL-2-YL)BENZENE

[0197]

[0198] A mixture of 3-chloro-4-fluoro-benzaldehyde (0.032 mol), glyoxal (40% in water, 0.038 mol) and ammonium hydroxide (28% in water, 0.16 mol) in MeOH (60 mL) is stirred at room temperature overnight. Solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is partitioned between water and CH2Cl2. The organic layer is washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with CH2Cl2 / MeOH (95 / 5) to afford 3-chloro-4-fluoro-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.88 (dd, 1H), 7.70 (m, 1H), 7.19 (t, 1H), 7.17 (s, 2H). LRMS m / z (M+1) 197.0.

SYNTHESIS OF 2,3,4-TRIFLUORO-(1H-IMIDAZOL-2-YL)BENZENE

[0199]

[0200] Saturated ammonium hydroxide solution (26 mL) is slowly added to a solution of 2,3,4-trifluorobenzaldehyde (5.0 g, 31.2 mmol) and glyoxal (10.75 mL of 40% wt in water, 93.7 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) at ambient temperature. After stirring for 24 hours, most of the solvent is removed at reduced pressure. Benzene is added and evaporated to remove residual water. The resulting dark oil is purified by chromatography on silica gel (5% MeOH / CH2Cl2) to obtain a tan solid. Trituration with ether / hexane provides 2,3,4-trifluoro-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene as a white solid. LRMS m / z (M+1) 199.10.

Abstract

This invention relates to heteroaryl substituted fused bicyclic heteroaryl compounds, such as heteroaryl substituted imidazopyridines, imidazopyrazines, imidazopyridizines, imidazopyrimidines, and imidazothiazoles, which may be described by Formula I or Formula II: The invention is particularly related to such compounds that bind with high selectivity and high affinity to the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and to the use of such compounds in treatment of certain central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Processes for preparing compounds of Formula I and Formula II are disclosed. This invention also relates to the use of benzimidazoles, pyridylimidazoles and related bicyclic heteroaryl compounds of Formula I or Formula II in combination with one or more other CNS agents to potentiate the effects of the other CNS agents. Additionally this invention relates to the use such compounds as probes for the localization of GABAA receptors in tissue sections.
