Reaction Steps

To 3-iodo-1-triisopropylsilanyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (96, 0.550 g, 1.37 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15.0 mL) at −40° C. under nitrogen, isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.0 M in tetrahydrofuran, 0.65 mL) was added slowly. The reaction was allowed to warm to 5° C. over 70 minutes, then cooled to −40° C., followed by adding (2-fluoro-benzyl)-(5-formyl-pyridin-2-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (579, prepared according to the protocol of Example 17, Scheme 19, Steps 1-3, replacing 4-chlorobenzaldehyde 40 with 2-fluoro-benzaldehyde in Step 1) in tetrahydrofuran (4.0 mL). The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature over 1 hour, then poured into aqueous ammonium chloride, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 20% to 100% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the desired compound (580, 0.14 g, 26%). MS (ESI) [M+H+]+=447.0.
