Reaction Steps

2,5-Dimethyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid [3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.100 g, 0.278 mmol) and ethyl formate (0.068 mL, 0.834 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (0.55 mL). The resulting solution was treated in dropwise fashion with a 21 wt % solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (0.519 mL, 1.39 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 brown precipitate. The suspension was filtered yielding an light brown solid as the pure 2,5-Dimethyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid [3-(3-hydroxymethylene-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-6-ylmethyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.072 g, 0.186 mmol, 67%).
