Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5,6-difluoro-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) were added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.81 g) and pyridine (1.9 g), and this mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 8 hours. Acetic anhydride was added to reaction mixture and this mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 8 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, 2 mol/L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to this mixture and resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. This mixture was poured into 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration, and washed with water and n-hexane. The solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate and this residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (0.95 g).
