Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → (2-{2-[2-cyclopentyl-1-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yloxy}-ethyl)-dimethyl-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2-{1-benzenesulfonyl-2-[2-cyclopentyl-1-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yloxy}-ethyl)-dimethyl-amine (350 mg, 0.59 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL) and a tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution in tetrahydrofuran (1 M, 4 mL, 4 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (150 mL), and washed with a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo to afford (2-{2-[2-cyclopentyl-1-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yloxy}-ethyl)-dimethyl-amine (200 mg, 75%) as a white solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C25H31N3O3S [M+H]+ 454.61, observed 454.1.
