Reaction Steps

5-Acetyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid [3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-phenyl]-amide (1.245 g, 3.077 mmol) and ethyl formate (0.739 mL, 9.23 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (6.16 mL). The resulting solution was treated in dropwise fashion with a 21 wt % solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (5.75 mL, 15.38 mmol). This reaction mixture was heated at 78° C. for 1 h, producing a black oil. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then the reaction pH was adjusted to pH 1 with dropwise addition of 1M HCl(aq) causing the formation of a pale orange precipitate. The suspension was filtered yielding an orange solid as the pure 5-Acetyl-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid [3-(3-hydroxymethylene-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.864 g, 1.99 mmol, 65%).
