1-(3-Iodo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)ethanone
1-(3-Iodo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl)ethanone (CAS 1015609-03-6) is a halogenated 7-azaindole building block with the molecular formula C9H7IN2O and a molecular weight of 286.07 g/mol. The molecule combines a reactive aryl-iodide handle with a methyl ketone on a pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine core, making it a versatile intermediate for cross-coupling and further functionalisation in medicinal-chemistry and pharmaceutical-intermediate synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies and exports this reagent worldwide.

Azaindole building block for drug discovery
Serves as a 7-azaindole (pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine) scaffold widely used in medicinal-chemistry programmes. The pre-installed iodine and acetyl groups allow rapid elaboration toward kinase-inhibitor and other bioactive heterocyclic chemotypes.
Substrate for palladium-catalysed cross-coupling
The C-3 aryl iodide is a reliable handle for Suzuki, Sonogashira, Heck and related couplings, enabling carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation to build more complex azaindole derivatives.
Ketone handle for further functionalisation
The 5-acetyl group provides a reactive methyl ketone for condensations, reductive amination, enolate chemistry and heterocycle annulation, offering a second independent point of diversification.
Heterocyclic intermediate for fine-chemical synthesis
Used as an advanced halogenated heterocyclic intermediate in the preparation of fine chemicals and research compounds where a functionalised pyridine-fused pyrrole core is required.
Reference and research reagent
Supplied as a characterised research-grade reagent for laboratory-scale synthesis, method development and structure-activity studies.
