Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-2-yl)ethanone oxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-2-yl)ethanone (Example 70) (0.39 g, 2.42 mmol) and hydroxylamine.HCl (0.34 g, 4.84 mmol) in ethanol (12.1 mL) and water (3.4 mL) was added LiOH (0.31 g, 7.26 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1.0 h, and then the heat was removed. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was triturated with water. The solid was collected by filtration, rinsed with water and Et2O, and dried under vacuum at 45° C. to give 1-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-2-yl)ethanone oxime (0.20 g, 47%) as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ2.26 (3H, s), 6.78 (1H, s), 7.54-7.57 (1H, m), 8.03 (1H, d, J=5.6 Hz), 8.64 (1H, s); ESI MS m/z 176 [C9H9N3O+H]+; HPLC (Method A) >99% (AUC, isomeric ratio=89.3:10.7), tR=12.47 (major) and 12.25 (minor).
