Procedure
A mixture of 3.12g of methyl-3-[o-nitrophenoxy]-indole-2-carboxylate, 10g of 40 mesh iron filings, 5ml of 5% aqueous acetic acid and 300ml of ethanol was refluxed with stirring for 3 hours. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to a solid. Recrystallization from ethanol gave analytical material, mp. 183°-4°.
