Ea. Meade et Lm. Beauchamp, THE SYNTHESIS OF 4-BENZYLAMINO-6-METHYL-1H-PYRROLO[3,2-C]PYRIDINE AND4-BENZYLAMINO-6-METHYL-1H-PYRROLO[2,3-B]PYRIDINE, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 33(2), 1996, pp. 303-308
4-Benzylamino-6-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c](2) and 4-benzylamino-6-methyl
-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (3) were synthesized as deaza analogues of
the anxiolytic agent 4-benzylamino-2-methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin
e (1). The 1-deaza analogue (2) was prepared via a multi-step procedur
e from a pyrrole precursor, 1-benzyl-2-formylpyrrole (4) while the 3-d
eaza analogue 3 was synthesized from a pyridine precursor, 2-amino-3,6
-dimethylpyridine (12).
