Reaction Steps

A sample of 8-Bromo-10-fluoro-2-hydroxy-9-trifluoromethyl-5,11-dihydro-6H-benzo[a]carbazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (28.9 mg, 63.4 μmol) is treated with ethanol (0.3 mL) and water (0.5 mL) followed by LiOH (4 mg, 190 μmol). The reaction is then stirred at 50° C. overnight. The reaction is then diluted with ethyl acetate and extracted with 1 M HCl. The organics are then dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent is removed. The resulting residue is purified using a UV triggered HPLC to afford 22 mg of the title compound as a white solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) δ 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.76 (s, 1H), 7.32 (s, 1H), 3.00 (m, 2H), 2.95 (2, H); LC/MS calculated for [M+H]+ C18H11F4NO3: 445.1, found: 445.9.
