Trifluoroacetic acid → (R)-N-(4-(3-aminopiperidin-1-yl)-5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-2-methoxyacetamide hydrochloride

(R)-tert-Butyl 1-(5-chloro-3-(2-methoxyacetamido)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl)piperidin-3-ylcarbamate (0.185 g, 0.422 mmol) was placed in DCM (3 mL) at room temperature. TFA (1 mL) was then added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and concentrated to dryness. The resulting residue was then purified by reverse phase chromatography (Biotage SP4, C-18 25M+, 5-50 CH3CN/water). The resulting product was next dissolved in minimal DCM (with MeOH to aid solubility) and added to a stirred solution of 1M HCl in ether. The resulting solid was filtered, washed with ether and dried to give (R)—N-(4-(3-aminopiperidin-1-yl)-5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-2-methoxyacetamide hydrochloride (0.170 g, 98% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, D2O) δ 8.10 (s, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 4.09 (s, 2H), 3.71-3.68 (m, 1H), 3.49-3.46 (m, 1H), 3.40 (s, 3H), 3.27-3.13 (m, 3H), 2.11-2.08 (m, 1H), 1.78-1.75 (m, 1H), 1.67-1.65 (m, 1H), 1.54-1.50 (m, 1H).
