Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,5-dichloro-3-nitropyridine (5.00 g, 25.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (164 ml) was added a solution of 1 mol/L vinylmagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran (82.9 ml, 82.9 mmol) at −78° C. The mixture was stirred at −20° C. overnight, and then to the reaction solution was added saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The organic layer was combined, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1→7:3), and then washed with diisopropyl ether to give 4,7-dichloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine (1.12 g, 23%) as a pale yellow powder.
