Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-diethylaminoethyl)-4-trifluoromethyl-6-cyano-3-hydroxy-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)oxindole (315 mg, 0.648 mmol) in t-butanol (5 mL) was added powdered KOH (ca. 300 mg) at 50° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at the same temperature and passed through a celite pad. The celite was washed with THF and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dispersed between water and ethyl acetate and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give the title compound (248 mg, 66%). The compound was dissolved in dioxane (2.5 mL) and 4 N HCl in dioxane (0.5 mL) was added. The solvent was evaporated azeotropically with toluene to dryness to give the hydrochloride (331 mg, 94%).
