Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-iodo-1-triisopropylsilanyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (96, 0.82 g, 2.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) at −20° C., isopropylmagnesium chloride (2M in tetrahydrofuran, 1.1 mL, 2.2 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 0° C. in 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was then cooled to −40° C. To the reaction mixture was added a solution of 4-chloro-2-[(4-chloro-benzyl)-methyl-amino]-thiazole-5-carbaldehyde (551, 0.41 g, 1.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to −10° C. in 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of solvent, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide the desired compound as a yellow solid (552, 0.5 g, 60%). MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=575.29.
