Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-4-[3-(2-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-1-ylmethyl]-indole-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 270 mg (0.56 mmol) is taken up in dioxane 4 mL and then the lithium hydroxide 53 mg 2.23 mmol in water is added to the solution. The reaction is stirred for 2 hours and then made acidic by the addition of 1N HCl. The compound is then extracted into ethyl acetate and then the ethyl acetate is dried (MgSO4) filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The oil is taken up in dichloromethane and TFA is added. The reaction is stirred for 1 hour and then evaporated in vacuo to give a solid that is taken up in ethyl acetate and precipitated with hexanes. The solid is collected and washed with hexanes to give the title compound (156 mg, 0.42 mmol, 76%). LCMS (ESMS): m/z 370.8 (M+H+).
