Reaction Steps

45 g (123 mmol) of 3-phenyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)-4H-furo[3,4-b]indole and 48 g (856 mmol) of potassium hydroxide in 65 ml of DMSO and 21 ml of water are heated under reflux for 1 h. The mixture is subsequently cooled to room temperature, neutralised using 1M HCl solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The solvent is evaporated in vacuo, and the residue is purified by chromatography (heptane/ethyl acetate 10:1). Yield: 22.4 g (96 mmol), 80%.
