Procedure
A mixture of 302 (54 mg, 0.346 mmol) and Raney Ni (100 mg) in 7M ammonia in MeOH (20 mL) was stirred under hydrogen at RT for 3 h. It was filtered through Celite®, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 53 mg (95.7%) of (5-methyl-1H-indol-4-yl)methanamine (304) as yellow solid: MS (ESI) m/z=144.3 (M−16).
