N-Iodosuccinimide → (3-(3-iodo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone (550 mg, 1.79 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) was added NIS (604 mg, 2.68 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. Acetone was removed by reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to afforded (3-(3-iodo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone (600 mg, 77% yield). MS: m/z 434.2 (M+H+).
