Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (22.70 mg, 0.568 mmol, 60% suspension in mineral oil) was added to a solution of methyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.568 mmol) in DMF (1419 μl) at RT. After 10 min, 2-fluoropyridine (48.8 μl, 0.568 mmol) was added to the mixture and the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 14 h. After being cooled to RT, the reaction mixture was directly purified by HPLC followed by neutralization (aq. NaHCO3) to afford the title compound as a colorless film.
