Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-[4-({[(4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]amino}carbonyl)-3-methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indol-6-yl]benzoate (30 mg, 0.062 mmol) in MeOH (2 mL) and THF (1 mL) was 3 N NaOH (0.031 mL, 0.185 mmol). The reaction was heated at 50° C. for 12 h, at which time it was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and treated with acidic ice water to bring pH to 6. The solid was filtered and washed several times with water and an 8:2 mixture of acidic (pH2) ice water:MeOH. Purification by reverse phase Gilson HPLC (10-80%, acetonitrile/water+0.1% TFA, YMC ODS-A C18 Column 75×30 mm ID S-5 um, 12 nM Column 7 minutes) provided the title compound (12 mg, 0.024 mmol, 39.5% yield) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 12.91 (br. s., 1H) 11.48 (br. s., 1H) 8.23 (t, J=5.05 Hz, 1H) 8.02 (d, J=8.34 Hz, 3H) 7.87-7.94 (m, 4H) 7.38 (s, 1H) 7.32 (d, J=1.52 Hz, 1H) 5.87 (s, 1H) 4.91 (quin, J=6.63 Hz, 1H) 4.36 (d, J=4.80 Hz, 2H) 2.24 (s, 3H) 2.18 (s, 3H) 2.11 (s, 3H) 1.44 (d, J=6.57 Hz, 6H).
