Procedure
A solution of (±)-methyl 6-chloro-5-(4-{[trans-2-hydroxycyclopentyl]oxy}phenyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (32 mg, 0.083 mmol) in methanol (0.845 mL) was treated with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (0.291 mL, 0.291 mmol). The solution was heated to 75° C. in a sealed vial for 24 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into 0.3N HCl (7 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified using reverse-phase chromatography to give the title compound. MS (ES−) 370.0 (M−H)−. Retention time: 1.66 min; Waters Xbridge dC18 5 μm 4.6×50 mm, 95% H2O/5% MeCN linear to 5% H2O/95% MeCN over 4.0 min, HOLD at 5% H2O/95% MeCN to 5.0 min. (0.03% NH4OH). Flow: 2.0 mL/min.
