Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate (100 mg, 370 μmol, Eq: 1.00) in DMF (5.00 mL) was added sequentially ammonium bicarbonate (90.0 mg, 1.14 mmol, Eq: 3.08), HATU (210 mg, 552 μmol, Eq: 1.49) and triethylamine (100 μL, 717 μmol, Eq: 1.94). The resulting dark yellow mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) and 1 M aqueous NaOH (0.5 mL) and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo, using n-heptane to azeotrope off residual DMF. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 12 g, 0% to 10% MeOH in DCM) to give tert-butyl 2-carbamoyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate as a white solid (100 mg), m/z=264 (M+H).
