Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-7-iodo-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine (600 mg, 2.15 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8 mL) was added 60% sodium hydride (130 mg, 3.25 mmol) under argon atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was cooled to 0° C., and then thereto was added dropwise dimethyl sulfate (250 μL, 2.64 mmol). Then, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. To the reaction solution was added water, and then the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate three times. 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=97:3→75:25) to give 6-chloro-7-iodo-1-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine (540 mg, 86%) as a colorless powder.
