Abstract

1,3-Disubstituted 7-azaindoles were synthesized from 2,6-dichloropyridine using DoM and intramolecular aromatic ­substitution after epoxide opening by an amine. Even the sterically demanding adamantylamine may be incorporated leading to derivatives which are not accessible by alkylation of the parent compound.
