A simple and convenient procedure for the preparation of some unknown 2,3‐disubstituted 5‐iodo‐1H‐pyrrolo[2,3‐b]pyridines from readily available starting materials by Fischer indole cyclization in polyphosphoric acid is described. The present methodology provides an alternative synthetic approach to the synthesis of 5‐iodo‐7‐azaindole scaffold. All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, MS, 1H and 13C NMR, and elemental analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
