Reaction Steps

To methyl 1-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-ylmethyl)-1H-indole-7-carboxylate (0.22 g), methanol (2.0 mL), and THF (2.0 mL) was added a 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1.0 mL), followed by stirring at 70° C. for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was ice-cooled, a 10% aqueous citric acid solution (5.0 mL) was added thereto, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration, and washed with water and diethyl ether/hexane (1/1) to obtain 1-{2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)amino]-2-oxo ethyl}-1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid (0.18 g).
