Ammonium Chloride → 4-((1H-Pyrrolo[2,3-B]pyridin-4-YL)oxy)-3-fluoroaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxy)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (300 mg, 1.1 mmol) in THF (5 mL) and methanol (10 mL), were added zinc powder (350 mg, 5.5 mmol) and ammonium chloride (294 mg, 5.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite®, rinsed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 1-5% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford the desired product (205 mg, 77% yield) as an off-white solid. LC/MS (ESI+) m/z 244 (M+H)+.
