Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-3,3-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-2-one (1.4 g, 7.14 mmol) was dissolved in a solution of borane-dimethyl sulfide complex in THF (2 M, 36 mL, 71.4 mmol) and heated to 65° C. for 3 h, then cooled to ambient temperature. MeOH was added and the reaction heated at reflux for 1.5 h. After stirring overnight, the solvent was removed in vacuo. Column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 0-100% EtOAc/petrol), gave the title compound (1.23 g, 95%) as a colourless solid. 1H NMR (Me-d3-OD): 7.65 (1H, s), 6.42 (1H, s), 3.43 (2H, s), 1.34 (6H, s).
