Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a dry 100 mL and stir bar was charged with 4.70 g ethyl 6-(benzoyloxy)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole carboxylate (Example 210) and dissolved in 12.5 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran then cooled to 0° C. To this rapidly stirring solution was added 35.0 mL 1.0 M tetrahydrofuran solution of potassium tert-butoxide dropwise via syringe. Upon complete addition the contents were warmed to room temperature and stirred an additional ½ hour then quenched with 10 mL of 3N HCl solution followed by addition of 30 mL of water. The reaction was extracted with 3×50 mL of ethyl acetate then dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified via column chromatography to yield 3.28g (99.0% yield) of an off white solid. The product had a Rf of 0.42 20% ethyl acetate/hexane; 1H NMR (300 MHz, Acetone-D6); 8.80 Hz, (s, 1H), 8.02 Hz, (dd, 1H), 7.95 Hz, (dd, 1H), 7.68 Hz, (dd, 1H), 7.58 Hz, (m, 2H), 7.46 Hz, (d, 2H), 7.21 Hz, (d, 1H), 6.87 Hz, (dd, 1H), 4.31 Hz (q, 2H), 1.31 Hz (t, 3H).
