Reaction Steps

0.58 g (1.28 mmol) of 3-{4-[1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3-yl]-piperidin-1-ylmethyl}-benzoic acid methyl ester were dissolved in 5 ml of ethyl alcohol and 1.93 ml of 2 N sodium hydroxide were added. After stirring at room temperature for 20 hours, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in water. The mixture was neutralised with 2 N hydrochloric acid and extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried with magnesium sulphate, filtrated and evaporated. The crude material weighed 0.65 g and was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel affording 0.3 g (54% of yield) of the expected product.
