Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 7-[methyl(2-thienylsulfonyl)amino]-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (0.40 g), 8N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (0.40 ml), tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) and methanol (5 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and water was added to the residue. The mixture was acidified with 10% aqueous citric acid solution, and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried to give the title compound (0.35 g, yield 91%) as colorless crystals. melting point >240° C. (decomposition).
