Upon addition of acetic acid (8 mL), a precipitate formed. The mixture was refluxed for 5 minutes and cooled to ambient temperature. The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration and washed with 20 mL of ethanol. The solids were slurry-washed in 30 mL of reflushing ethanol, cooled, collected by vacuum filtration, washed with 30 mL of ethanol and vacuum dried to give 8.1 g (80% yield) of 3-[2-(5-isopropylaminosulfonyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroindol-3-ylidenemethyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indol-3-yl]-propionic acid as an orange solid.
