[Br:1][C:2]1[CH:3]=[C:4]2[C:8](=[CH:9][C:10]=1[N+:11]([O-])=O)[NH:7][CH:6]=[CH:5]2>C(O)C.[Ni]>[Br:1][C:2]1[CH:3]=[C:4]2[C:8](=[CH:9][C:10]=1[NH2:11])[NH:7][CH:6]=[CH:5]2A mixture of 5-bromo-6-nitro-1H-indole (7.5 g, 31.1 mmol) and Raney Ni (1 g) in ethanol was stirred under H2 (1 atm) at room temperature for 2 h. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give 5-bromo-1H-indol-6-ylamine (B-27) (2 g, 30%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 10.6 (s, 1H), 7.49 (s, 1H), 6.79-7.02 (m, 1H), 6.79 (s, 1H), 6.14-6.16 (m, 1H), 4.81 (s, 2H).
