Diethyl Ether → 1-(Benzenesulfonyl)-4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of 4-chloro-7-azaindole (1.00 g, 6.55 mmol) in dichloromethane (DCM) (50 ml) was treated with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (80.0 mg, 0.66 mmol), triethylamine (1.36 ml, 9.83 mmol) and benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.93 ml, 7.21 mmol) at ambient temperature. The mixture was left to stand overnight and then diluted with DCM and washed with 1M aqueous HCl solution, saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, water, and brine, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give crude product. Trituration (diethyl ether) afforded 1.59 g (83%) of 1-benzenesulfonyl-4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine. LCMS (Method B, ESI): RT=4.48 min, m+H=293.3; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.31 (d, 1H), 8.18 (m, 2H), 7.78 (m, 1H), 7.62-7.56 (m, 1H), 7.52-7.45 (m, 2H), 7.20 (m, 1H), 6.72 (m, 1H).
