Lithium Hydroxide → Acetic acid 4-(3-iodo-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-1-ylmethyl)-phenyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid 4-(3-iodo-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-1-ylmethyl)-phenyl ester was prepared by substituting acetic acid 4-chloromethyl-phenyl ester and Example 717A for benzyl bromide and Example 695J, respectively, in Example 696A. Acetic acid 4-(3-iodo-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-1-ylmethyl)-phenyl ester was then slurried in a mixture of THF and water, and treated with LiOH to provide the desired product. MS (ESI) m/e 351 (M+H)+, 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): □ 9.44 (s, 1H), 8.87 (s, 1H), 8.20 (d, J=5.43 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (s, 1H), 7.24 (dd, J=5.43, 1.02 Hz, 1H), 7.18 (d, J=8.48 Hz, 2H), 6.68-6.72 (m, 2H), 5.40 (s, 2H).
