Hydrochloric Acid → 5-[4-chloro-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl]-nicotinic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.070 g (2.48 mmol) of 5-[4-chloro-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl]-nicotinic acid ethyl ester was dissolved in 10 mL of ethanol. 2 mL of 50% w/v solution of potassium hydroxide in water and 10 mL of water were added and the resulting solution was left standing at ambient temperature for 16 h. Subsequently the pH was adjusted to approximately 4 by addition of concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid and the mixture diluted with 100 mL of water. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and dried by suction to afford 1.1153 g (2.76 mmol, quant.) of 5-[4-chloro-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl]-nicotinic acid. 1H-NMR [500 MHz, d6-DMSO] δ: 9.13 (d, 1H), 8.94 (d, 1H), 8.393 (m, 1H), 8.388 (m, 1H), 7.89 (d, 1H), 6.70 (d, 1H), 5.69 (s, 2H), 3.55 (t, 2H), 0.84 (t, 2H), 0.08 (s, 9H); MS [MH+] m/z: 404; [M−H−] m/z: 402.
