Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-methyl-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxylate (80 mg, 0.27 mmol) in methanol (3 mL) and water (1 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (57 mg, 1.36 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred with refluxing for 15 hours. The mixture was adjusted pH 3 with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (50 mL×3). The organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a residue, which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane/methanol=20:1) to give 2-methyl-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-pyrrolo-[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (20 mg, 26%). LRMS (M−H+) m/z: calcd 279.12. found 279.
