Procedimiento

To a solution of 20 g of 1-methyl-3-indole acetic acid in 120 mL of methanol was added 0.5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated by evaporation and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, and then poured into a solution of aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was then extracted with dichloromethane and excess magnesium sulfate was added to the extract. The product was purified by distillation to give 25 g of yellow oil.
