Procedure

A solution of tert-butyl (R)-[2-(7-diethylcarbamoylmethoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-methylethyl]carbamate (0.35 g, 0.87 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (0.39 g, 7 mmol) in water (4 mL) and ethanol (6 mL) is stirred at 60° C. for 8 hours. After cooling, the mixture is concentrated and acidified by addition of water (30 mL) and acetic acid. The resultant is extracted with chloroform, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired (R)-[3-(2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propyl)-1H-indol-7-yloxy]acetic acid (0.30 g, yield: 100%).
