Application | 4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo [2,3-B] pyridine -5-carboxylic acid is an organic intermediate, which can be prepared from 4-chloro -7 azafindole through a three-step reaction. It has been reported in the literature that it can be used to prepare compound (S)-4-(3-(2,2, 2-trifluoroethylcarbamoyl) piperidine -1-amino)-1H-7-azaindole -5 formamide, which is a JAK family inhibitor. |
preparation | step 1: synthesis of 4-chloro -1-(triisopropylsilyl)-7-azaindole at room temperature, 4-chloro -7 azaindole (100.00g,655.39mmol) is dissolved in DMF(1.2L), the ice bath was cooled to 0 ℃, NaH(39.47g,983.09mmol) was added in batches, after the addition, stirred at 0 ℃ for 1 hour, triisopropylchlorosilane (190.80g,983.09mmol, abbreviated TIPSCl) was added dropwise, and reacted at room temperature for 2 hours. Pour the reaction solution into 2L ice water, extract with petroleum ether (1L x2), combine organic phases, wash with saturated salt water (1L x3), concentrate to dry under reduced pressure, and obtain 197.50g of colorless and transparent liquid by column chromatography (PE:EA = 1:0) with 97% yield. Step 2: Synthesis of 4-Chloro -1-(Triisopropylsilyl)-7-Azaindole -5-Ethyl formate Dissolve 4-Chloro -1-(Triisopropylsilyl)-7-Azaindole (20.00g,64.74mmol) in a four-mouth bottle of THF(100mL), cool to -75 ℃, add sec-butyl lithium (100mL,129.48mmol,Sec.BuLi) dropwise, after addition, stir at -75 ℃ for 1 hour, add chloroethyl chloroformate (17.80g,129.48mmol), after addition, react at -75 ℃ for 1 hour. Pour the reaction liquid into saturated ammonium chloride solution, separate the liquid, add ethyl acetate (100mL) to the aqueous phase for extraction, combine the organic phase, wash the saturated salt water, dry the anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, concentrate, and pass through the column (PE:EA = 1:0~10:1) to obtain 23.15g of light yellow liquid with 94% yield. Step 3: Synthesis of 4-chloro-1H-pyrrolo [2,3-B] pyridine -5-carboxylic acid At room temperature, 4-chloro -1-(triisopropyl silicon)-7-azaindole -5-ethyl formate (12.94g,33.96mmol), ethanol (200mL) and 10% sodium hydroxide (100mL) are added to a single-mouth bottle, and the addition is completed, reaction at 60 ℃ for 2 hours. Evaporation under reduced pressure to remove ethanol, adjust the aqueous phase to pH = 4 with 1N dilute hydrochloric acid under ice bath, precipitate a large amount of white solid, filter, and dry the filter cake to obtain 8.60g of white solid with 77% yield. |
