Procedure

To a solution of 2.2 g (6.5 mmol) 1-[6-chloro-1-(3,5-difluoro-benzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone in 65 ml DMF were added 1.7 g (36 mmol) sodium hydride (50% in oil) at room temperature. After stirring for 5 min. 0.59 ml (33 mmol) water were added dropwise. Stirring was continued at room temperature for 45 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with 150 ml of tert-butyl methyl ether and extracted with two 150-ml portions of a 1 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The combined aqueous layers were acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with three 150-ml portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dried in high vacuo at 80° C. to give 2.0 g (95%) of the crude title compound as a brown solid.
