Methyl 2-(7-bromo-4-methoxy-6-azaindol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetate

The aryl bromide enables further diversification via coupling reactions, while the α-keto ester provides a versatile handle for condensations and ring-forming transformations. Methyl 2-(7-bromo-4-methoxy-6-azaindol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetate is a halogenated azaindole-derived α-keto ester used as a synthetic intermediate in medicinal chemistry.It incorporates a 6-azaindole heterocyclic core substituted with bromine and methoxy groups, linked at the 3-position to a glyoxylate (2-oxoacetate) ester functionality.
