Sodium Sulfite → HCID 22477182, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (24.3 g, Reference Example 73) in dichloromethane (700 mL), under nitrogen and at 5° C., was treated with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (26.7 g, 70%). After stirring at 5° C. for 16 hours a further aliquot of 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (15 g, 70%) was added and stirring was continued for a further 6 hours at 5° C. The reaction mixture was then treated with sodium sulfite solution (1 L, 10%), the organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with dichloromethane (200 mL). The combined organic phase and extracts were washed with water (400 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated. The residue was subjected to flash column chromatography on silica eluting initially with a mixture of ethyl acetate and pentane (1:3, v/v) and then with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (95:5, v/v) to give the title compound (11.7 g) as an orange solid.
