Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-{2-[(difluoroacetyl)amino]ethyl}-5-methoxy-N-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (2.52 g) and dichloromethane (50.0 mL) was added boron tribromide (1.0 M dichloromethane solution, 23.3 mL) under ice-cooling, followed by slowly warming to room temperature, and then stirring at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to −15° C. and methanol (5.00 mL) was added thereto, followed by warming to room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and then the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=100:0 to 5:1) to obtain 3-{2-[(difluoroacetyl)amino]ethyl}-5-hydroxy-N-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (2.37 g) as a yellow solid.
