Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 5-(2-diethylamino-ethyl)-2-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-3-methyl-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one (82 mg, 0.2 mmol) prepared from Example 1 in 2 ml of tetrachloromethane was added with acetic acid (20 ml), N-bromosuccinimide (43 mg, 0.24 mmol) and azobisisobutyronitrile (2 mg, 0.012 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 45 minutes, cooled down to room temperature filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the mixture (21 mg) of 7-bromo-5-(2-diethylamino-ethyl)-2-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-3-methyl-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one and 3-bromomethyl-5-(2-diethylamino-ethyl)-2-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one which was used as such.
