Methanol → (3-(3-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanol (1 mL) was added to crude (3-(3-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-tosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone from step 1 and potassium hydroxide (50% w/v, 0.038 mL, 0.34 mmol) was added to the resulting solution. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature before being diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. Silica gel chromatography afforded (3-(3-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone (7) (31% yield from (3-(3-iodo-1-tosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)phenyl)(morpholino)methanone) as light yellow solids. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 3.65 (m, br, 8H), 3.75 (s, 6H), 6.77 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (t, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (m, 1H), 7.46 (s, 1H), 7.55 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (m, 1H), 7.74 (m, 1H), 7.91 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.45 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H).
