Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (Thibault, C. et al. Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 5023; 457 mg, 3.0 mmol, the disclosure of which is hererin incorporated by reference) and 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenol (Aldrich, 706 mg, 4.5 mmol), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (580 mg, 4.5 mmol) in NMP (3 mL) was heated at 200° C. under microwave irradiation for 1 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (150 mL), washed with sat. aq. KH2PO4 solution, and Na2CO3 (aq. 1 M), dried over Na2SO4. The product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluting with CH2Cl2 to 30% EtOAc/CH2Cl2) to afford a brown solid (350 mg, 43% yield). LC/MS (ESI+) m/z 274 (M+H)+.
