Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylicacid (840 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8.4 mL) were added 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (808 mg) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (929 mg). The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 30 minutes. The solution was cooled to ambient temperature and added 28% ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution (1.2 mL). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. To the solution were added water and chloroform and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried over MgSO4, filtrated and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with chloroform and methanol (100:0 to 90:10) to give 4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide (90 mg) as a pale yellow powder.
