Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a reaction flask under nitrogen, (3-amino-2,6-difluoro-phenyl)-(5-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-methanone (7, 13.00 g, 36.9 mmol) is combined with 150 mL of dichloromethane and anhydrous pyridine (5.84 g, 73.8 mmol), and propane-1-sulfonyl chloride (8, 6.05 g, 42.5 mmol) is added. The reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight, and additional pyridine (1.46 g, 18.5 mmol) and propane-1-sulfonyl chloride (1.51 g, 10.6 mmol) are added. The reaction is stirred at room temperature another 3 hours, then diluted with 500 mL of water and extracted 3×250 mL with dichloromethane. The organic layers are combined and washed with 250 mL of brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated under vacuum. The resulting material is purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with a gradient of ethyl acetate:hexane. Appropriate fractions are combined and concentrated under vacuum to provide the desired compound (9, 8.41 g, 50%).
