To a solution of toluene-4-sulfonic acid 3-[3-iodo-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-yl]-phenyl ester (50 mg, 0.077 mmol, prepared as exemplified in method 6) in THF (2 mL) at −90° C. under nitrogen atmosphere was added a solution of tBuLi in pentane (1.7 M, 90 uL) dropwise. After stirring for 5 min, 3-fluoro-benzaldehyde (40 uL, 0.38 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was slowly warmed up to 10° C. over 2 h, then quenched with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride and extracted with EtOAc three times. The extracts were combined and adsorbed on silica gel. Purification on silica gel with a gradient of MeOH/CH2Cl2 afforded 26 mg of toluene-4-sulfonic acid 3-[3-[(3-fluorophenyl)-hydroxy-methyl]-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-yl]-phenyl ester. The material was dissolved in dichloromethane (0.3 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. Triethylsilane (24 uL, 0.149 mmol) was added, followed by boron trifluoride etherate (7 μL, 0.149 mmol) dropwise. After stirring for 15 h, the reaction was quenched with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted with dichloromethane three times. The extracts were combined and concentrated under vacuum. The crude was treated with 2 mL of EtOH and 2 mL of aqueous KOH (50 wt %). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1 h. The mixture was acidified to pH 4 with 1 N aqueous HCl, and extracted with EtOAc three times. The extracts were combined and adsorbed on silica gel. Purification on silica gel with a gradient of MeOH/CH2Cl2 afforded 3-[3-(3-fluoro-benzyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-yl]-phenol as a beige solid (8 mg, 66% yield). 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 4.11 (s, 3H), 6.74 (dd, J=2.5, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 6.97 (dt, J=2.0, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.00 (s, 1H), 7.05 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (d, J=10.5 Hz, 1H), 7.17 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (q, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.40 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 8.07 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.42 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 9.56 (broad s, 1H), 11.6 (s, 1H). MS: m/z 319 (M+H+).
