Reaction Steps

A mixture of 675 mg (1.9 mmol) of 1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-acetic acid hydrazide and 500 mg of Raney Ni in 25 mL of ethanol was heated to maintain reflux for 3.5 hours and cooled to room temperature. The ethanol was decanted and the Raney Ni washed twice with methylene chloride. The combined solvents were filtered, concentrated at reduced pressure and the residue chromatographed on silica gel (eluted with EtOAc) to give 503 mg (77% yield) of 1-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-acetamide, mp, 171-173° C.
