Procedure

Aluminum trichloride (846 mg) was added to a solution of 5-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (250 mg) in dichloromethane (5 ml) at room temperature over 10 minutes. Subsequently, acetyl chloride (135 μl) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. The reaction solution was poured into ice-cold water and separated by adding dichloromethane. The resulting organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developed with methanol-chloroform) to give the title compound (186 mg).
