Procedure

To a stirred solution of 5-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (20.0 g, 102 mmol) in DMF (400 ml) at 0° C. was added NaH (60% mineral oil dispersion; 4.87 g, 122 mmol) slowly (CAUTION: GAS EVOLUTION). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. Benzenesulfonyl chloride (17.0 ml, 132 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient. After 1 hour the reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath, and 100 mL of water was added slowly (CAUTION: GAS EVOLUTION, EXOTHERM). The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (500 mL) and brine (600 mL). The organic layer was washed with additional brine (500 mL), followed by saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (250 mL). The first and 3rd aqueous layers were combined and back-extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL). The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to a thick slurry. EtOAc (100 mL) was added, followed by hexanes (100 mL). The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was rinsed with 1:1 EtOAc/Hexanes (50 mL) to afford 5-bromo-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine as a grey solid. The filtrate can be concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/Hexanes gradient) to afford additional product. LRMS (ESI) calculated for C13H9BrN2O2S [M+H]+, 337.0; found 336.9.
