Benzoyl chloride → HCID 11067619, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.100 gm (0.43 mMol) 5-amino-3-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine in 3 mL 50% aqueous tetrahydrofuran were added 0.43 mL (0.86 mMol) 2N sodium hydroxide followed by 0.065 mL (0.56 mMol) benzoyl chloride and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature. After about 4 hours the reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and 2N sodium hydroxide. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase extracted well with dichloromethane. The organic phases were combined, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of dichloromethane (2-10% methanol) containing 1% ammonium hydroxide. Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 0.095 gm (66%) of the title compound. A portion was recrystallized from ethanol/water to provide an analytical sample.
