Reaction Steps

Butyl 1-butyl-3-(trifluoroacetyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylate (0.277 g), LiOH.H2O (0.040 g), THF (1.5 mL), water (0.5 mL), and methanol (0.5 mL) were stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvents were then removed under reduced pressure and HCl (2N, 0.5 mL) was added to the residue. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Chromatography on silica gel using methanol/dichloromethane (6/94) gave 1-butyl-3-(trifluoroacetyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxylic acid (0.166 g). MS (ESI+) for C15H14F3N1O3+H1 m/z 314.10 (M+H)+.
