To a solution of methyl 6-bromo-3-chloro-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylate (1.2 g, 3.63 mmol) in THF (2.368 ml) and MeOH (14.21 ml) was added 3 N NaOH (1.573 ml, 4.72 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 55° C. for 4 h. The reaction was removed from the heat and the solvent removed in-vacuo. The remaining residue was dissolved with water (12 ml) and made acidic dropwise with 1 N HCl. The product precipitated and the slurry became too thick to stir and was diluted with water (10 ml). After the precipitation haulted no more acid was added. The solid was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water, and air dried under vacuum overnight to give 6-bromo-3-chloro-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (650 mg, 2.033 mmol, 56.0% yield over 2 steps) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.22 (s, 1H), 8.09 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1H), 7.89 (s, 1H), 7.45 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1H), 4.88 (quin, J=6.63 Hz, 1H), 1.43 (d, J=6.57 Hz, 6H). MS(ES) [M+H]+ 316.0.
