Reaction Steps

A mixture of (1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)carbaldehyde obtained in Example 36 (2) (100 mg), ethyl bromofluoroacetate (0.05 ml), zinc powder (28 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) was heated under reflux for 15 minutes. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution successively, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was separated using silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:2) to obtain 2-fluoro-3-(1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)-3-hydroxypropionic acid ethyl ester (100 mg) in a yellow amorphous form. To a mixture of the resulting 2-fluoro-3-(1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-methanesulfonyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-yl)-3-hydroxypropionic acid ethyl ester (90 mg) and dichloromethane (2 ml) was added Dess Martin reagent (190 mg) at 15 to 30° C. and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 5% aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution successively, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was separated using silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to obtain the desired product (80 mg) in a white amorphous form.
