Procedure

An ice cold solution of methyl 2-hydroxy-2-(1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-6-methyl-7-oxo-4-(p-tolyl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)acetate (266 mg, 0.596 mmol) in Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (2.5 mL) was treated with conc. H2SO4 (185 μl, 3.47 mmol), and anisole (370 μl, 3.39 mmol). After stirring for 1 hour, the reaction was warmed to rt for 2 hours, and then quenched with sat. NaHCO3 until neutral. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, washed with Brine, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification with column chromatography (0-100% EtOAc/Hexane) afforded methyl 2-hydroxy-2-(6-methyl-7-oxo-4-(p-tolyl)-6,7-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)acetate (130.1 mg, 0.399 mmol, 66.9% yield) as off-white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) ppm 10.94 (br. s., 1H), 7.36 (dd, J=7.3, 12.5 Hz, 2H), 7.30-7.20 (m, 3H), 6.12-6.03 (m, 1H), 5.42 (s, 1H), 3.82-3.73 (m, 4H), 3.67 (s, 3H), 2.42 (s, 3H); LCMS (m/z) ES+=327 (M+1).
