To a solution of 294 (800 mg, 5.12 mmol) in 7M ammonia in MeOH (50 mL) was added Raney Ni (2.0 g) and the reaction mixture was stirred vigorously under H2 (1 atm.) atmosphere at RT for 18 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® and concentrated in vacuo to afford 800 mg of (1-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)methanamine (296) as yellow oil: MS (ESI) m/z=144.3 [M-NH2]+.
