Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 6-chloro-5-[3-fluoro-4-(3-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl]-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (85 mg, 0.23 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) and water (2 mL) was added sodium hydroxide (90 mg, 2.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. and stirred for 24 hours. The mixture was acidified by 1N HCl to pH 4 and extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL×3). The combined organic layers was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a brown residue. It was purified by preparative HPLC to give the title compound (31 mg, 52% yield) as a white solid. MS (AP−) 386.1 (M+Na)−. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.14 (s, 1H), 11.98 (s, 1H), 8.08 (s, 1H), 7.925 (s, 1H), 7.62 (s, 1H), 7.25-7.15 (m, 3H), 4.59 (t, 1H), 4.16 (t, 2H), 3.58 (q, 2H), 1.90 (m, 2H).
