Procedure

A solution of 3,3-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-2-one (2.0 g, 7.2 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature, and a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl was added. Activated zinc powder was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The zinc was removed by filtration through a pad of diatomaceous earth, and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with THF (10 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The residue was slurried in 10:1 CHCl3:MeOH (15 mL) and filtered through a pad of silica gel, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was triturated with water, and the solid was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give the title compound, 0.668 g (70%). 1H NMR (d6-DMSO) δ10.94 (s, 1H), 8.02 (d, 1H, J=5.2 Hz), 7.52 (d, 1H, J=6.8 Hz), 6.90 (dd, 1H, J=6.8, 5.2 Hz), 3.53 (s, 2H).
