Dimethylformamide → 4-Bromo-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-B]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (2 g, 10.15 mmol) and sodium hydride (0.406 g, 10.15 mmol) were added to N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL) with stirring and under nitrogen. After 15 minutes the reaction was cooled in an ice bath and benzenesulfonyl chloride (1.295 mL, 10.15 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred in the ice bath for 30 min and then allowed to warm up to room temperature. Water (30 mL) was added and the precipitate collected by filtration to afford the title compound as an orange solid (4.8 g).
