Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 0.477 gm (2.7 mMol) of the 5-(N-acetylamino)pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine, 0.54 mg (9.5 mMol) potassium hydroxide, and 0.43 mL (3.5 mMol) 1-methyl-4-piperidone in 15 mL methanol was heated at reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in pyridine. To this solution was added 0.20 mL (2.2 mMol) acetic anhydride and the resultant mixture stirred for 1 hour. This reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of ethyl acetate (2-40%) methanol). Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 0.43 gm (59%) 5-(N-acetylamino)-3-(1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine as an ivory foam. A portion was recrystallized from methanol/ethyl acetate to provide an analytical sample.
