Procedure
To a solution of NaOH (5.19 g, 129.8 mmol) in water (10 mL) was added tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.35 g, 1.08 mmol), 5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (1.5 g, 9.83 mmol), toluene (60 mL) and methyl 2-bromoacetate (9 g, 59 mmol). The reaction was heated overnight at 100° C. The reaction was quenched with water, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. 2-(5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-1-yl)acetate solution in THF was treated with NaOH and stirred at RT for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water and the pH was adjusted to 1 with 1N HCl to crash out the product. The reaction was then filtered, azeotroped with acetonitrile and dried to give 2-(5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-1-yl)acetic acid. (2 g, 97% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.18 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 8.05 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=3.5 Hz, 1H), 6.42 (d, J=3.5 Hz, 1H), 4.74 (s, 2H). LC/MS (10%-99% CH3CN (0.035% TFA)/H2O (0.05% TFA)), m/z: M+1 obs=211.1; tR=1.10 min.
