Reaction Steps

6-Ethynyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (0.016 g, 0.11 mmol) was successively added with acetic acid (0.1 mL), water (0.2 mL), and hexamethylenetetramine (0.023 g, 0.17 mmol), and then the mixture was stirred overnight at 120° C. in a sealed tube. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then added with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 6-ethynyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde (0.016 g, 85%).
