Procedure

To a solution of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-[4-(3-cyano-1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)-phenyl]-urea (100 mg, 0.252 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added aqueous 1M KOH (504 uL) and then stirred at 49° C. for 24 h. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and then washed with water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and then triturated with hexane and the precipitate collected by filtration and washed well with 50% ethyl acetate in hexane and dried in vacuo to afford 1-ethyl-6-methoxy-2-[4-(2-oxo-imidazolidin-1-yl)-phenyl]-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (56 mg, 62%).
