Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(7-chloroquinazolin-4-yl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindol-3-ylacetic acid (1.0g.) in dry methanol (50ml.) was added freshly distilled boron trifluoride etherate (0.5ml.), and the dark red solution was heated under reflux for 30 mins. To the solution was added saturated sodium acetate solution (5ml.), and the mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residual mixture was shaken with a mixture of water (50ml.) and chloroform (30ml.). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with further chloroform (2 × 20 ml.), and the combined extracts were washed successively with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (2 × 20ml.), water (10ml.) and saturated sodium chloride solution (15ml.). After drying, the extracts were evaporated to give methyl 1(7-chloroquinazolin-4-yl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindol-3-ylacetate, m.p. 111°-113° C.
