Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.0 g (4.20 mmol) of 2-[4-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-1-yl)phenyl]ethanol, prepared in step 13.1., 0.51 g (5.04 mmol) of 1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione and 1.21 g (4.62 mmol) of triphenylphosphine in 16 ml of tetrahydrofuran, cooled by a bath of acetone and ice, is admixed dropwise with 0.84 g (4.2 mmol) of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate in solution in 2 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is subsequently heated to ambient temperature again and stirred overnight. 4 g of silica are added and the mixture is evaporated to dryness. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a 70/30 then 60/40 then 50/50 and 40/60 mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate, to give 1.52 g of product in the form of a sticky solid, which is used as it is in the following step.
