Reaktionsschritte

Methyl 6-methoxyindole-2-carboxylate (PREPARATION 62, 571 g) is dissolved in 70 ml of dioxane and 7 ml of water and 1.87 g of crushed potassium hydroxide are added. The reaction is heated to 50° and stirred 1.5 hr. The reaction mixture is acidified to pH 4-5 and extracted several times with methanol/chloroform (10/90). The organic layers are combined and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title acid, NMR (300 MHz, d4-CD3OD) 7.47, 7.08, 6.90, 6.72 and 3.82 δ.
