Reaction Steps

5-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid [3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.150 g, 0.380 mmol) and ethyl formate (0.090 mL, 1.12 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (4 mL). The resulting solution was treated in dropwise fashion with a 21 wt % solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (0.7 mL, 1.9 mmol). This reaction mixture was heated at 78° C. for 0.5 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 tan precipitate. The suspension was filtered and the solids were subsequently washed with 0° C. EtOH to afford the pure 5-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid [3-(3-hydroxymethylene-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.105 g, 0.248 mmol, 65%).
