Reaction Steps

In a 500 ml round bottom flask, methyl 3-(dimethylamino)-2-((dimethylamino)methyleneamino)acrylate (1A, 12 g, 61 mmol) was dissolved in acetic acid (45 ml) and TFA (15 ml). 1,3-Dimethyl-1H-pyrrole (5.8 g, 61 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for an hour and then at 110° C. for 4 hours. Volatiles were then evaporated from the reaction mixture, the residue was cooled in an ice bath and ice cold saturated K2CO3 solution (˜200 ml) was slowly added to it. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×250 ml). Combined organic layers were then washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified on a silica column using hexane-EtOAc (0-100%). Desired product methyl 1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-6-carboxylate (1J, 6.8 g, 55%) was obtained.
