Procedure
Ethyl 2-[5-[2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolin-2-yl)phenyl]indole-1-yl]octanoate (0.174 mmoles, 80 mg) was dissolved in 1 ml THF. Methyl iodide (0.15 ml, 1.1 mmole) was added. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the solution was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in 7 ml of 2:1 MeOH:2N NaOH and heated at 90° C. for 24 hours. The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and washed with ether. The pH was adjusted to 1.0 using 2N HCL. The product was extracted with 20% EtOH in ethyl acetate. The organic layer dried and concentrated to yield 35 mg of 2-[5-(2-Carboxyphenyl)indol-1-yl]octanoic acid that solidified upon standing. (MS)
