Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (67, 2.00 g, 0.0102 mol) in methylene chloride (120 mL), under an atmosphere of nitrogen, was added aluminum trichloride (8.20 g, 0.0615 mol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 60 minutes, then 2-fluoro-3-methoxy-benzoyl chloride (34, 2.12 g, 0.0112 mol, prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid using the protocol of Example 1, Scheme 13, Step 4), dissolved in methylene chloride (20.0 mL), was added. After 2 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 25% ethyl acetate in hexane to provide P-0265 (approx 2.6 g, 73%). MS (ESI) [M−H+]−=347, 349.
