Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 5-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate 11-c (2.9 g, 12.2 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) were added successively cesium carbonate (4 g, 12.2 mmol) and 1-bromo-4-fluorobutane (1.3 mL, 12.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature then poured into iced water and the product was extracted 3 times with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to give the targeted product 11-d as a yellowish solid. The product was used as such in the next step. m/z=313 (M+H)+, Cl pattern.
