Reaction Steps

4-(6-Ethoxy-benzofuran-3-ylmethoxy)-indole-1,2-dicarboxylic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 2-ethyl ester (29a) (7.5 g, 15.6 mmol) is dissolved in 150 ml of a 1:1:1 mixture of THF, ethanol and water. And after addition of KOH pellets (4.4 g, 78.2 mmol) the mixture is stirred for 2 h (TLC control) at 85° C. Then the organic solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is cooled to 0° C. and treated with 2M HCl. The crude product is filtered off and dried under high vacuum. The crude product is recrystallized from ethyl acetate.
