Procedure

A solution of 5-methoxy-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (900 mg, 3.12 mmol) in THF (22.5 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of lithium diisopropylamide (prepared from nBu-Li (2.5M in hexane); 2.5 ml) and diisopropylamine (874 μl) in THF (13.5 ml)) cooled at −25° C. and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Methyl iodide (215 μl, 3.44 mmol) in THF (9 ml) was then added dropwise and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at −25° C., left to warm up to ambient temperature and stirred for 15 minutes. The mixture was then poured onto ice/water. The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (20/80 followed by 30/70). The fractions containing the expected product were combined and evaporated to give 5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (805 mg, 85%).
