Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 2-(7-(4-cyclopentyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyloxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indol-3-yl)acetate (38.7 mg, 0.080 mmol) in a mixed solvent of methanol (1.5 mL), tetrahydrofuran (0.5 mL), and water (0.5 mL) was added LiOH hydrate (11.7 mg, 0.279 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight before the mixture was acidified to pH 4 with 1 N aqueous HCl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure and dried under vacuum. The foam was triturated with water to give a solid. The solid was filtered to give the title compound as a light pink solid (25.7 mg). LCMS m/z=458.4[M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.56-1.70 (m, 4H), 1.80-1.87 (m, 2H), 1.95-2.11 (m, 3H), 2.34 (dd, J=16.04, 8.97 Hz, 1H), 2.59-2.74 (m, 4H), 3.21-3.25 (m, 1H), 3.41-3.49 (m, 1H), 5.11 (s, 2H), 6.70 (dd, J=8.72, 2.40 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=2.27 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=8.72 Hz, 1H), 7.61 (d, J=8.00 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (d, J=8.00 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (s, 1H), 10.45 (s, 1H), 12.18 (bs, 1H).
