Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid (250 mg, 1.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was warmed to 40° C. N-chlorosuccinimide (243 mg, 1.62 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 55° C. for 5 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and left stirring for 2 days. The mixture was diluted with water (20 mL) and stirred overnight. The resulting solid was collected by filtration and dried to give the title compound (161 mg, 55%). +ESI (M+H) 197.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6, δ): 13.08 (br. s., 1H), 12.39 (br. s., 1H), 8.86 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 8.40 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H).
