Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of {2-[5-cyano-2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethyl}carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (300 mg in 5 mL ethanol) was added to a suspension of 725 mg potassium carbonate and 273 mg hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 7 mL ethanol and the whole heated to reflux on an oil bath. After 21 hours, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove solids. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic portion was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and the concentrate purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (methylene chloride:methanol, 92:8) to give the title compound (105 mg).
