Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(1-benzenesulfonyl-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-yl)-propane-1,2-diol (1.67 g, 5.03 mmol), p-toluene sulfonic acid (96 mg, 0.5 mmol) and 2,2-dimethoxy-propane (3.1 mL, 25.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was stirred at 25° C. for 12 h. The solution was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash silica gel chromatography (silica gel from QingDao, 200-300 mesh, glass column from Shanghai SD company, 33% ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded 1-benzenesulfonyl-5-(2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (1.51 g, 81%) as a white solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C19H20N2O4S [M+H]+ 373.45, observed 373.0.
