Lithium Hydroxide → N-(5-bromo-4-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-2-methoxyacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methoxyacetic acid (313 mg, 3.5 mmol), bis(2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)phosphinic chloride (885 mg, 3.5 mmol) and triethylamine (880 mg, 8.7 mmol) were added to 5-bromo-4-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-amine (400 mg, 1.7 mmol, Example 1, Step H) in DCM (50 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and then 3M aqueous LiOH (4 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred for 1 hour, and then saturated aqueous Na2CO3 was added (200 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted 3 times with DCM (200 mL), and then the combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to dryness. N-(5-bromo-4-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-2-methoxyacetamide (236 mg, 45% yield) was isolated as a solid.
