Reaction Steps

1-(tert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanyl)-3-iodo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (636, 647.0 mg, 1.81 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10.0 mL) at −20° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Isopropylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran (2.0 M, 0.98 mL) was added to the reaction. The reaction was stirred for 1 hour, during which the temperature rose to 0° C. The reaction was cooled to −20° C. and 4-[1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethoxy]-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde (644, 420 mg, 1.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3.00 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred for 2 hours during which time the temperature rose to 10° C. The reaction was quenched with methanol and adsorbed onto silica, then purified by silica gel chromatography, ethyl acetate:hexanes, to provide the desired compound, (645, 463 mg, 61%). 1H-NMR was consistent with the desired compound.
