Reaction Steps

1,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid [3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.172 g, 0.4594 mmol) and ethyl formate (0.111 mL, 1.37 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (5 mL). The resulting solution was treated in dropwise fashion with a 21 wt % solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (0.86 mL, 2.3 mmol). This reaction mixture was heated at 78° C. for 0.5 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 HCH(aq) causing the formation of a brown precipitate. The suspension was filtered and the solids were washed with 0° C. EtOH to afford the pure 1,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid [3-(3-hydroxymethylene-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-6-carbonyl)-phenyl]-amide (0.136 g, 0.34 mmol, 74%).
