Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (5-fluoro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-methyl ester 27a (58 mg, 0.22 mmol) was dissolved in 1 ml of methanol under stirring, and added with 1 ml of water and sodium hydroxide (15 mg, 0.375 mmol) to the solution at room temperature. Upon completion of the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for another 1 hour. After thin lay chromatography showed the disappearance of starting materials, the reaction mixture was filtered. The resulting solid was washed with water for three times and dried to obtain the title compound N-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-yl)-2-hydroxy-acetamide 27b (46 mg, yield 93.8%) as a gray solid.
