Procedure

Methyl 4-(3-cyano-1-ethyl-5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)-benzoate (350 mg, 1.05 mmol), prepared as described in Example 1Ga step B, was combined with NaOH (40 mg, 1 mmol), H2O (0.8 mL), and THF (3.4 mL) and was heated at 80° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted in H2O and was then ether-washed. The aqueous layer was acidified with aqueous HCl, and was extracted into EtOAc. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to yield 4-(3-cyano-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)-benzoic acid (311 mg, 92%) as a pure white solid.
