Reaction Steps

A flask is charged with 2-(4-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile (Example 90, 190 mg, 0.80 mmol) and DCE (8 mL), and 1.0 M BBr3 in DCM (4.8 mL, 4.8 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture is poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM. The aqueous phase is concentrated, acidified with 1M HCl in water and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified with an Xbridge C18 eluting with a 1:9 to 9:1 acetonitrile-water gradient to give 3-bromo-2-(4-hydroxy-pyridin-3-yl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 6.40 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (dd, J=8.5, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.71 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (dd, J=7.1, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=1.0 Hz, 1H), 8.67 (d, J=1.3 Hz, 1H). HRMS (ESI) m/z 313.9932 [(M+H) calcd for C14H9BrN3O: 313.9929].
