The reaction was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 2 h. The reaction was recooled to 0° C., carefully quenched with water (5 mL), and evaporated to near dryness under vacuum. The residue was taken up in MeOH (50 mL) then treated with 6 N NaOH (10 mL, 60.0 mmol). The reaction was heated to 60° C. and stirred for 4 h. After cooling to RT the reaction was concentrated to near dryness, diluted with water, acidified with 6 N HCl (10 mL, 60 mmol), extracted with CH2Cl2, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and evaporated to dryness to give the crude acid as a brown solid. Purification by silica gel chromatography (Analogix, SF40-120 g, 0 to 50% EtOAc in hexanes) gave material which was triturated with hexanes, filtered and dried under vacuum to give the product 5-bromo-1-methyl-3-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid (2.98 g, 10.06 mmol, 69.2% yield) as a white solid. MS (ES)+ m/e 296.3 [M+H]+.
