Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → Methyl [1-((2R)-2-{[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]amino}-4-hydroxybutyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl [1-((2R)-4-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-2-{[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]amino}butyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]acetate (1.2 g, 2.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) was added 1 M TBAF (4.8 mL, 2.2 equiv.). After a period of 0.5 h the reaction mixture was quenched with 25% aqueous ammonium acetate, the organic phase was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on combiflash (20% ethyl acetate in hexane to 100% ethyl acetate) to provide 849 mg of the title compound.
