Procedure

An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, prepared from 1.15 g (28.92 mmol) of sodium hydroxide pellets in 50 ml of water, is added to a solution of 7.6 g (24.10 mmol) of ethyl 5-fluoro-1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (obtained in step 2.1) in 240 ml of ethanol. The mixture is heated for two hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid is taken up in 200 ml of water. The solution is washed with twice 100 ml of ethyl ether, acidified by successive additions of small amounts of concentrated hydrochloric acid and then extracted with 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phase is finally washed twice with 100 ml of water and once with 50 ml of a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. After drying at 50° C. under reduced pressure, 6.4 g of the expected product are obtained in the form of a solid that will be used as it is in the subsequent step.
