Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 1-((2′-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1H-indole-5-carboxylate (3.72 g, 7.69 mmol) and NaOH (7.7 mL, 2 N, 15.4 mmol) in EtOH (30 mL) was refluxed at 100° C. for 2 h. The completion of the reaction was monitored by anal. HPLC. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt, then acidified to pH˜4 with 2 N HCl solution. The mixture was evaporated in vacuo to obtain the crude, which was precipitated from water and filtered to obtain the title compound. ESI-MS (m/z): 456 [M+H]+.
