Abstract
A robust and flexible synthesis of 1,3- and 1,3,6-substituted 7-azaindoles is presented starting from nicotinic acid derivatives or 2,6-dichloropyridine, respectively. Microwave heating dramatically accelerates the penultimate reaction step, an epoxide-opening-cyclization-dehydration sequence.
