Reaction Steps

1M BBr3 in CH2Cl2 (7.66 mL, 7.66 mmol) is added to a solution of [1-(3-cyano-4-fluoro-benzenesulfonyl)-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-acetic acid methyl ester (0.495 g, 1.27 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL). The reaction mixture is exposed to microwave irradiation at 60° C. for 45 minutes. Water is added to the reaction mixture which is stirred for further 20 minutes. The organic layer is isolated using the Isolute™ phase separator cartridge and evaporated. The residue is loaded on a pre-packed Isolute™ silica column and eluted using a gradient eluent from 100% CH2Cl2 to 5% methanol in CH2Cl2 to afford the title compound; MH+=374.
