A solution of 7-benzyloxyindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in 600 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 200 ml of methanol is combined with 500 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide solution and stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture is then acidified under ice cooling with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are dried, treated with active carbon, and concentrated. The residue is recrystallized from toluene, thus producing 35 g of 7-benzyloxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, mp 166°-168° C.
