m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 178422841, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

65% m-Chloroperbenzoic acid (1374 mg) was added to a solution of 6-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (570 mg) in ethyl acetate (20 ml) under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. After concentration of the reaction mixture in vacuo, the resulted residue was diluted with 2% aqueous solution of potassium carbonate and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulted residue was purified with a NH-silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: chloroform/methanol=30/1 to 9/1) to give 6-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-7-oxide (575 mg) as a colorless powder.
