Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 22013003, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 300 mg of potassium hydroxide (85%) in 2 ml of water was added to a solution of 0.35 g of (RS)-3-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-3-(N'-(4-methylphenyl)ureido)indolin-2-one in 10 ml of ethanol at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours, followed by concentration. The concentrate was diluted with water, and washed with chloroform. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 3 by addition of 2N hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting crude product was recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol to give 0.088 g (27%) of the title compound.
