Water → (5-Bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-[6-chloro-2-fluoro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-phenyl]-methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-bromo-7-azaindole (67, 291 mg, 1.48 mmol) in methanol (22 mL) were added 6-Chloro-2-fluoro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-benzaldehyde (523, 400.0 mg, 1.6 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (1.49 g, 26.6 mmol) under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The reaction was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 25% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the compound (524, 300 mg, 42%). MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=453.1, 455.1.
