Water → 3-bromo-4-chloro-5-phenyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Bromo-4-chloro-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (1.30 g, 4.23 mmol) was placed in DMF (10 mL) at 0° C. NaH (0.203 g, 5.07 mmol) was then added, and the reaction was stirred for 20 minutes. Benzenesulfonyl chloride (0.595 mL, 4.65 mmol) was then added, and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. The reaction was then poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic fractions were dried, filtered, concentrated and purified (2:1 D CM: hexanes) to give 3-bromo-4-chloro-5-phenyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyri dine (1.80 g, 95.1% yield).
