Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 59593271, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (6-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-methanol (89, 1 g, 0.003 mol) and 3-[(6-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-methoxy-methyl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (90, 2 g, 0.006 mol), triethylsilane (1 mL, 0.006 mol), and trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL, 0.006 mol) in acetonitrile (25 mL) was refluxed for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was collected, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent, the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate in hexane to provide the compound as an off-white solid (91, 0.75 g, 60%). MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=288.06, 290.00.
