Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 5-bromo-1,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-one (2.0 g, 9.49 mmole), tert-butyl acrylate (1.8 g, 14.1 mmole), Pd(OAc)2 (0.32 g, 1.4 mmole), tri-ortho-tolylphosphine (0.57 g, 1.9 mmole), and diisopropylethylamine (4.9 mL, 28.2 mmole) in propionitrile (100 mL) and DMF (10 mL) was heated at reflux overnight. The dark mixture was filtered through celite®, and the filtrate was concentrated. Flash chromatography on silica (9:1 CHCl3/CH3OH containing 5% NH4OH) gave the title compound (0.80 g, 33%) as a light yellow solid. MS (ES) m/e 261 (M+H)+.
