Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,3-dibromo-6-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-2-one (preparation 36d, 1.14 g, 3.49 mmol) in acetic acid (35 mL) was added zinc dust (2.23 g, 34.10 mmol) in one portion and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 50 minutes. The mixture was diluted with methanol and filtered through a fine frit. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (95:5 dichloromethane/methanol) to give the title compound (0.56 g, 91%) as a white solid.
