Reaction Steps

A −78° C. solution of ethyl 4-iodo-1,6-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate in dichloromethane (DCM) (150 mL) was treated dropwise with DIBAL-H (128 mL, 128 mmol) and warmed to ambient temperature. After 30 min, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and treated sequentially with water (5.1 mL), 15% NaOH (5.1 mL) and finally water (12.8 mL) with a 10 minute delay in between each addition. The fine suspension was then filtered through a pad of celite and washed with ethyl acetate 3×. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford (4-iodo-1,6-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)methanol (12.4 g, 41.0 mmol, 96% yield) as a yellow solid.
