Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(4-Isopropoxyphenyl)-1-(2-naphthyl)indole-2-carboxylic acid (40 mg, 0.095 mmol; see Example 18) was dissolved in dry THF (1 mL) and NaOMe (3.37 M, 28 μL) was added via syringe. After stirring for 30 min at room temperature, the solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue dried in vacuo to yield the title compound (42 mg, 99%).
