Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-5-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (30 mg) and piperidine (50 mg) in 1-butanol (0.4 mL) was heated in the microwave reactor (120° C., 0.5 hour, 180° C., 2 hours). The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and diluted with EtOAc (10 mL) and half-saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate (10 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (10 mL) two times and combined organic layers were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Purification of the crude product by preparative silica gel thin-layer chromatography (EtOAc) gave 5-fluoro-4-(1-piperidinyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (10 mg) as a white solid.
