Procedure
A mixture of 0.7 g of ethyl 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)indoline-3(R,S)-carboxylate (Example 97d) in 18 ml of methanol/water (1:1) and 2.9 ml of a 1N sodium hydroxide solution is stirred at 50° C. for 3 h. After the methanol has been removed in vacuo, the aqueous phase is brought to pH 2 and extracted with ethyl acetate. Customary further working up gives the title compound as a white solid: Rf (hexane/ethyl acetate/glacial acetic acid (75:25:1))=0.23.
