Reaction Steps

Thiophene-2-carboxylic acid [3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.110 g, 0.306 mmol) and ethyl formate (0.075 mL, 0.918 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (0.6 mL). The resulting solution was treated in dropwise fashion with a 21 wt % solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (2.85 mL, 1.53 mmol). This reaction mixture was heated at 78° C. for 1 h, producing a black oil. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then the reaction pH was adjusted to pH 1 with dropwise addition of 1M HCl(aq) causing the formation of a pale brown precipitate. The suspension was filtered yielding a tan solid as the pure Thiophene-2-carboxylic acid [3-(3-hydroxymethylene-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.061 g, 0.162 mmol, 53%).
