The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, then acidified with 1N HCl (0.5 ml). Methanol and tetrahydrofuran were evaporated and the residual slurry was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated, and the residue purified by flash chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol gradient), to yield 4-{[1-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl)-1H-indole-6-carbonyl]-amino}-benzoic acid as a light yellow solid, 17 mg (25%).
