Reaction Steps

Tin (II) chloride (8.5 g, 45 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of ethyl 3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1-(3-methoxybenzyl)-5-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (Example 28, 4.5 g, 9.3 mmol) in EtOH (24 mL). The mixture was heated (50° C.) until there was a homogenous solution and then concentrated hydrochloric acid (16 mL) was added. The reaction was stirred at 60° C. for 2 h and then cooled. The pH of the solution was adjusted to pH=12 using 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide and then the product was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to leave 2.8 g (67%) of crude product that was taken to the next reaction without as proceeded to the next step without further purification. Mass spectroscopy gave MH+=457.4 (exact mass calc'd for C29H32N2O4=456.24).
