Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-2-chloro-1-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-1H-indole (215 mg), IPA (2.5 ml) and 2 M NaOH (aq) (2.5 ml) were mixed in a microwave vial and heated in the microwave for 30 min at 120° C. The reaction was acidified using 2M HCl (aq) and then extracted with DCM, which was passed through a hydrophobic frit, then evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with methanol which was then evaporated to afford the title compound, 112 mg.
