Sodium Hydroxide → 6-Chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-Chloro-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (400 mg, 1.78 mmol) in MeOH (35 mL) was added 1N NaOH (13 mL). The solution was stirred at RT for 6 h and evaporated the solvent. The residue was neutralized with sat. NaHCO3 and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. After washing with water, the solid was dried on the pump for direct use (260 mg, 1.71 mmol, 96%). MS (ES+): m/e=153.1 (M+H); LC: 2.85 min.
