Reaction Steps

1M Aqueous NaOH (364 μL, 0.364 mmol) is added to a stirring solution of (1-benzyl-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)acetic acid methyl ester (65 mg, 0.22 mmol) in 5:1 THF/MeOH (2.4 mL). After 5.5 hours, the reaction is evaporated, and partitioned between water and EtOAc. The aqueous layer is acidified to pH 3, and the resulting precipitate collected by filtration to furnish 1-benzyl-2-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid; MH+=281.
