Potassium tert-butoxide → N-(4-Fluoro-benzyl)-4-(3-phenyl-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-sulfonyl)-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Slowly add 3-phenyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (178 mg, 0.915 mmol, 1.0 eq) as a 2 ml DMF solution to a flask under N2 containing potassium tertbutoxide (108 mg, 0.961 mmol, 1.05 eq) in 1 ml DMF solution. Stir solution for 5 minutes. Slowly add 4-(4-Fluoro-benzylcarbamoyl)-benzenesulfonyl chloride (300 mg, 0.915 mmol, 1.0 eq) as a 3 ml DMF solution. Stir reaction for 18 hours at room temperature. Strip reaction of solvent and purify on silica gel chromatography to give N-(4-Fluoro-benzyl)-4-(3-phenyl-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-sulfonyl)-benzamide (82 mg, 18% yield). Mass Spectrum (m/e): 485.94 (MH+).
