Versuchsvorschrift

A mixture of 3-(2-Chloroethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (4.0 g) and sodium iodide (3.2 g, 0.95 eq.) in a solution of ammonia in methanol (7 N, 20 mL) is heated to 60° C. in a Fischer-Porter sealed pressure bottle for 48 h. The bottle is cooled, opened cautiously and the solvent removed in vacuo. The resultant residue is recrystallized from THF to give the title ethylamine compound as a tan solid, 4.8 g, identified by HPLC and mass spectral analyses.
