Reaction Steps

A solution of 375 mg (1.23 mmol) of 5-methoxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-acetamide (Example 3) and 5 mL of 1M BBr3/methylene chloride in 75 mL of methylene chloride was stirred for 1.25 hours, and poured into 1N HCl. The methylene chloride layer was separated, washed with brine and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was removed at reduced pressure to give as residue 310 mg (90% yield) of 5-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-acetamide, mp, 158-160° C.
