Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-1-carboxylate (2.55 g) in the mixture solvent of glycol monomethyl ether (40 mL) and AcOH (1 mL) was added a catalytic amount of Pd(OH)2/C. The suspension was heated at 70° C. for 24 h under H2 (2.0 MPa) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed with a silica gel column (eluting agent: 10:1 (v/v) CH2Cl2/MeOH) to give the product as viscous liquid (2.64 g, 100.00%).
