Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl [4-bromo-3-hydroxy-3-(6-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl]acetate (1.32 g, 2.80 mmol), triethylsilane (2.00 mL, 12.2 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.94 mL, 12.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (50.0 mL) was stirred at 35° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (100 mL), washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane, 1/3) to give the title compound (1.04 g, 81%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.32-7.15 (m, 2H), 6.74 (d, 1H), 6.50-6.36 (br, 2H), 5.04 (s, 1H), 4.51-4.34 (m, 2H), 4.25-4.14 (m, 2H), 2.92-2.69 (m, 2H), 1.43 (s, 3H), 1.37 (s, 3H), 1.23 (t, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 460.5 (M+1), 462.5 (M+1).
