Hydrochloric Acid → {5-Fluoro-2-methyl-3-[2-(methylphenylsulfamoyl)benzyl]indol-1-yl}acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of {5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-[2-(methylphenylsulfamoyl)benzyl]indol-1-yl}acetic acid methyl ester (0.10 g) and tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL) was treated with 2.0 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2.0 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The mixture was acidified by the addition of 2.0 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative reverse-phase HPLC, eluting with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (2:3 to 1:9 by volume) to afford the title compound as pale yellow solid (0.083 g).
