Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(1-benzenesulfonyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)-2-cyclopentyl-ethanol (1.34 g, 3.07 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 ml) was added Dess-Martin periodinane (2.6 g, 6.14 mmol) at 25° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1 h and then quenched with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (20 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (3×20 mL), brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel from QingDao, 200-300 mesh, 50% dichloromethane/hexanes) to afford 1-(1-benzenesulfonyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)-2-cyclopentyl-ethanone (1.33 g, 100%) as a light yellow solid: LC/MS m/e calcd for C21H19F3N2O3S [M+H]+ 437.46, observed 436.8.
