Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-4-{[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]oxy}-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine-5-carboxylate (1.50 g, 3.36 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) was added propargyloxytrimethylsilane (0.73 g, 5.72 mmol), lithium chloride (0.214 g, 5.1 mmol), copper iodide (0.028 g ml, 0.15 mmol), triethylamine (7 ml, 50.4 mmol) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.052 g, 0.074 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 min at 140° C. in a microwave reactor (Personal Chemistry). The solvent was evaporated and 10 mL ethyl acetate was added. After stirring for 10 min, the mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (Biotage) over silica gel (1:3, hexane/ethyl acetate) afforded the title product as yellow oil (0.46 g, 46% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 8.69 (s, 1H) 7.36 (d, J=3.28 Hz, 1H) 7.06-7.14 (m, 2H) 6.98-7.06 (m, 2H) 6.84 (d, J=2.53 Hz, 1H) 5.40 (s, 2H) 4.67 (s, 2H) 4.48 (q, J=7.07 Hz, 2H) 1.46 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 3H). LC-MS (APCI, M+H+): 353.1. HPLC: 96% purity.
