Procedure

A solution of 2-(morpholine-4-carbonyl)-1-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (924 mg, 2.4 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (200 mg, 4.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (8 mL), methanol (2 mL) and water (4 mL) was refluxed for 3 h. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in water and acidified with hydrochloric acid (1N). The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane: methanol (98:2 then 19:1 v/v) as eluant, to give 727 mg (85%) of the desired compound as an off-white solid.
