Hydrochloric Acid → N-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid 1-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-1-methyl-ethyl ester 11a (2.035 mg, 6.9 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of methanol under stirring at room temperature, and 20 mL of sodium hydroxide solution (0.7 M) was then added to the solution. The reaction solution was stirred for 4 hours. The reaction was completed until TLC showed the disappearance of starting materials, and the above solution was neutralized with hydrochloric acid (1 M) and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography and dried to give N-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-yl)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propionamide 11b (900 mg, yield 59.2%) as a white solid.
