Reaction Steps

7-Chloro-4-methoxy-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine (4 g, 21.90 mmol), 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carbonitrile (6.18 g, 65.7 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (1.252 g, 6.57 mmol) were combined in pyridine (6 mL) in a sealed tube. The mixture was heated to 150° C. for 6 hrs. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc (3000 mL), washed with 5% NaHCO3 (100 mL), brine (100 mL) and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column using 30% EtOAc in hexanes mixture to give 1-(4-methoxy-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-7-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carbonitrile (2 g, 8.33 mmol, 38.0% yield). LCMS: m/z 241.1 (M+H), 1.67 min (method 8).
