Reaction Steps

5-Ethyl-2-(1-hydroxy-ethyl)-7,7-dimethyl-5,7-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-f]indol-6-one (13 g, 47.6 mmol) and manganese(IV)dioxide (16.54 g, 190 mmol) were suspended in chloroform (400 mL) and stirred at 65° C. for 16 h. The mixture was cooled, filtered over Celite and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo yielding 11.6 g (90%) of a beige solid.
