Procedure

5-Bromo-4-fluoro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (10 g, 47 mmol) was added to fuming nitric acid (50 mL) at 0° C., and the reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. Ice (300 mL) was added, and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature. The resulting suspension was filtered and dried under high vacuum to provide 5-bromo-4-fluoro-3-nitro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (9.2 g, 76% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, (CD3)2SO) δ 13.63 (br s, 1H), 8.85 (s, 1H), 8.56 (d, 1H).
