Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → 1-(5-Bromopyrimidin-2-yl)-3-(methylthio)-1H-indole-6-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (1.63 g, 39.78 mmol) was added to an ice-cooled suspension of 51b) (5 g, 13.26 mmol) in THF/water (1:1, 50 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in water (20 mL). The aqueous solution was washed with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL), acidified with sodium hydrogen sulfate and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. White solid. Yield: 4 g (83% of theory)
