Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of methyl 6-bromo-1-cyclopropyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (0.43 g, 1.462 mmol) in MeOH (12 mL) and THF (3 mL) was added 3M NaOH (1.949 mL, 5.85 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 18 h at RT, at which time the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water and slowly acidified with 1N HCl to pH 4-5, then extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combine organics were wash with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give 6-bromo-1-cyclopropyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (0.376 g, 1.315 mmol, 90% yield) as a pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 0.92-1.01 (m, 2H) 1.05-1.12 (m, 2H) 3.51 (tt, J=7.07, 3.66 Hz, 1H) 6.89 (d, J=2.53 Hz, 1H) 7.52 (d, J=3.03 Hz, 1H) 7.80 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1H) 7.99 (d, J=1.01 Hz, 1H) 13.05 (br. s., 1H).
