Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 3-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate (700 mg, 2.5 mmol) in DCM (20 mL), was added dropwise at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere diethylzinc (6.13 mL of a 1M solution in hexane, 6.1 mmol) and diiodomethane (0.79 mL, 9.8 mmol). The mixture was warmed to RT and stirred at RT overnight. The mixture was then cooled with an ice bath and quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride. The mixture was extracted with DCM, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated in diisopropylether and the resulting precipitate was filtered and then purified by column chromatography (DCM/MeOH 95:5) to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (100 mg).
