The reaction mixture was maintained at 0° C. for 4 h then quenched by adding water (100 μL), 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide (100 μL), and water (250 μL) successively. The mixture was filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth, washing well with ethyl acetate. Solvent evaporation provided 184 mg of crude yellow solid. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, 60:40 hexanes/ethyl acetate) afforded (7-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-2-yl)methanol (157 mg, 0.860 mmol, 84%) as an off-white powder: Rf 0.30 (silica gel, 70:30 hexanes/ethyl acetate); mp 185-187° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ4.94 (2H, s), 6.56 (1H, s), 7.49 (1H, d, J=5.5 Hz), 7.84 (1H, d, J=5.5 Hz); ESI MS m/z 183 [C8H7ClN2O+H]+; HPLC (H2O/CH3CN 100:0 to 0:100 over 20 min, hold for 10 min, 0.05% TFA added to solvents) 95.4% (AUC), tR=11.1 min.
