Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-1-pentyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one (2.42 g, 7.35 mmol) in dichloromethane (10.0 mL) were added trifluoroacetic acid (1.00 mL) and triethylsilane (1.00 mL) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 15 hrs and concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was triturated with ether to give the title compound (2.10 g, 91%) as a solid: MS (ES+) m/z 314 (M+1).
