Procedure

2-Phenyl-7-nitro-1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid (14.1 g, 50 mmol) prepared in Preparation 30 was dissolved in ethanol (40 mL). Conc. sulfuric acid (10 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at 50° C. After completion of the reaction, 1N NaOH was added to the reaction mixture, which was then extracted with EtOAc, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from EtOAc and hexane to give the title compound (14.1 g, Yield 95%).
