Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of NaH (4.65 g, 116 mmol, 60% in mineral oil) in DMF (40 mL) at 0° C. is treated with 3-ethyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine (2 g, 7.75 mmol) and stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The mixture is treated with HOSA (4.4 g, 38.8 mmol) portion wise and warmed to rt over 2 h. The mixture is then poured over ice, treated with solid NH4Cl (3 g), and filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate is extracted with Et2O (3×150 mL). The combined organic layer is dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 30%-50% EtOAc in heptane to afford 3-ethyl-5-trifluoromethyl-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-1-ylamine (1.5 g, 84%). MS: 230 (M+H); 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.97 (d, 1H), 7.59 (d, 1H), 7.54 (s, 1H), 6.12 (s, NH2, 2H), 2.78 (q, 2H), 1.28 (t, 3H).
