Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of KOH (0.17 g, 3.0 mmol) in H2O (10 mL) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 8,9-dichloro-6-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.27 mmol) in THF (15 mL). The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 2 h. The reaction was then cooled to rt, acidified with 10% aqueous HCl, and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated to give crude acid (1.03 g, 110%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.50 (s, 1H), 7.26 (s, 1H), 4.73 (s, 2H), 3.74 (m, 2H), 3.67 (m, 2H), 2.89 (m, 4H), 1.47 (s, 9H); MS(ESI+) m/z 410.9.
