Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 6-bromo-1-cyclobutyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (0.3 g, 0.973 mmol) (crude residue from above) in MeOH (8 mL) and THF (2 mL) was added 3 M NaOH (1.298 mL, 3.89 mmol). The reaction was stirred at RT for 16 h, at which time the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water and slowly acidified with 1 N HCl to pH 3-4. The solids were filtered and dried on hivac for 16 h to give 6-bromo-1-cyclobutyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (0.21 g, 0.535 mmol, 55.0% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 1.79-1.89 (m, 2H) 2.34-2.46 (m, 2H) 3.84 (s, 1H) 5.08 (t, J=8.21 Hz, 1H) 6.99 (d, J=3.03 Hz, 1H) 7.75-7.79 (m, 1H) 7.81 (d, J=3.03 Hz, 1H) 8.01-8.05 (m, 1H) 13.03 (br. s., 1H). MS(ES) [M+H]+ 294.1.
