Trifluoroacetic acid → benzyl 4-amino-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (10 ml) was added drop wise to an ice-cooled suspension of benzyl 4-[(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)amino]-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carboxylate (5 g, 9.7 mmol, Step c) in dichloromethane (30 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was stirred in excess aqueous ammonia solution. The precipitated solid was filtered under suction, washed with water and dried to yield benzyl 4-amino-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carboxylate (2.5 g, 95%) as off-white solid.
