Procedure

A mixture of methyl 1-(3,3-dimethoxypropyl)-1H-indole-7-carboxylate (1.6 g, 5.8 mmol) from Step A above, 2 N HCl (15 mL) and THF (15 mL) were heated at reflux for 4 h. The reaction was quenched with solid sodium bicarbonate and adjusted to pH 8 and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 80:20 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to give methyl 1-(3-oxopropyl)-1H-indole-7-carboxylate (278 mg, 21%) as a colorless oil: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.77 (s, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.18 (d, J=3.0 Hz, 1H), 7.12 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.57 (d, J=3.0 Hz, 1H), 4.72 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 2.99 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H).
