A convenient synthetic route to substituted pyrrolo[2, 3-b]pyridines via a novel ethylene-bridged compound. Issue 47 (25th November 2015) - Wilding, Birgit
Graphical abstract: Abstract: A convenient synthetic route to 4-substituted pyrrolo[2, 3- b ]pyridines is presented. The novel ethylene bridged compound 1, 2-bis(4-azidopyrrolo[2, 3- b ]pyridinyl)ethene was prepared and further derivatized. The novel synthesis was applied in the preparation of 3-cyano-4-hydroxypyrrolo[2, 3- b ]pyridine.
