Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[N-methyl-N-(4-nitrophenethyl)amino]-5-nitroindane (0.5 g) in ethyl acetate/methanol (40 ml/10 ml) containing 5% Pd/C (0.05 g) was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere [206.8 kPa (30 psi)] for 4 hours at room temperature. The catalyst was then removed by filtration and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo to give a gum which was triturated with ether. The ether was decanted and evaporated to dryness in vacuo to give the title compound, yield 0.33 g. A small sample was taken and recrystallised from diisopropyl ether, m.p. 112°-114°.
