Sodium Chloride → N-Cyclohexyl-5-(methylsulfonyl)-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Cyclohexyl-5-(methylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-4-amine (7.0 mg, 0.024 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) was stirred with sodium hydride (55 wt % dispersion in mineral oil, 3.0 mg, 0.069 mmol) and [2-(chloromethoxy)ethyl]trimethylsilane (10 μL, 0.057 mmol) at room temperature for 2 hours. After addition of saturated aqueous sodium chloride, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1→3/1 (v/v)) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (6.1 mg, yield 60%).
