The reaction was stirred at 23° C. under N2. After 45 min, the solution was diluted with EtOAc (75 mL) and washed with brine (50 mL), dried over MgSO4, concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography (eluent: 15-30% EtOAc/hexane), affording 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-iodo-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine (231 mg, 73%). MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 339.1 (M+1).
