Trifluoroacetic acid → 5-(2-Amino-ethoxy)-6-fluoro-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-benzo[cd]indol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [2-[6-fluoro-2-oxo-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1,2-dihydro-benzo[cd]indol-5-yloxy]-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (from Example 18 above) (16.5 mg, 0.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (1 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was quenched with 1.0 N NaOH (2.0 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were successively washed with water (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give 5-(2-amino-ethoxy)-6-fluoro-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-benzo[cd]indol-2-one as a yellow solid. (Yield 11.2 mg, 89.7%).
