[1-(2-Chloro-4-ethanesulfonyl-benzyl)-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester: To an ice cooled (0° C.) stirred solution of (2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid methyl ester ((2.68 g, 13.1 mmol) in dry DMF (95 ml) is added sodium hydride (577 mg of a 60% dispersion in mineral oil, 14.41 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 1.5 hours, the reaction mixture is re-cooled to 0° C. and treated with 1-bromomethyl-2-chloro-4-ethanesulfonyl-benzene (6.6 g, 22.2 mmol) and sodium iodide (3.3 g, 22.2 mmol). The resulting mixture is stirred and allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is poured onto water (600 ml) and extracted with 1:1 ethyl acetate/diethyl ether (4×300 ml). The organic portions are washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo and the resulting crude is purified by chromatography on silica eluting with ethyl acetate/iso-hexane (1:8 increasing to 1:2) to yield the titled product.
