Reaction Steps

3-bromo-5-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (5.0 g, 23.3 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (37.5 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Sodium hydride (1.5 g, 37.2 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then treated with tosyl chloride (6.6 g, 34.9 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. and then at room temperature for another 90 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and the resulting solid was collected, washed with water and hexanes three times and dried in vacuo to afford 8.26 g of 3-bromo-5-fluoro-1-(p-tolylsulfonyl)pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine, 22a: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.48 (s, 1H), 8.31 (s, 1H), 8.01 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 7.92 (dd, J=8.4, 2.7 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 2.35 (s, 3H).
