Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Phosphorous oxychloride (693 μL, 7.47 mmol) is added slowly to a stirred solution of dimethylformamide (714 μL) and dichloromethane (714 μL) cooled to 0-5° C. After 10 min, a solution of the above 1-phenyl-1,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-one (350 mg, 1.66 mmol), pyridine (357 μL) and dichloromethane (1.43 mL) is added and the reaction is stirred at room temperature for 24 hr. The reaction mixture is poured into water, the pH adjusted to 8 with ammonium hydroxide and extracted with dichloromethane (2×). The combined extract is dried, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography eluting with dichlormethane-2% methanol. Product containing fractions are combined and concentrated to afford 3-dimethylaminomethylene-1,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-one (211 mg, 47.9% yield).
