Reaction Steps

(R)-tert-Butyl 1-(5-bromo-3-(nicotinamido)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl)piperidin-3-ylcarbamate (150 mg, 0.291 mmol; Example 1A, Step A) was dissolved in THF (20 mL) and cooled to −78° C. MeLi (546 μL, 0.873 mmol) was then added slowly, and the reaction was stirred for 10 minutes. n-Butyl lithium (128 μL, 0.320 mmol) was added next, and the reaction was stirred for an additional 10 minutes, followed by the addition of 1,2-dimethyldisulfane (31.5 mg, 0.335 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes and then quenched with water. The reaction was extracted several times with DCM. The organic layer was dried, filtered, and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by reverse phase chromatography (Biotage Horizon, C-18 25M+, 10-85% CH3CN/water) to provide 50% pure (R)-tert-butyl 1-(5-(methylthio)-3-(nicotinamido)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl)piperidin-3-ylcarbamate, which was used without further purification.
