Procedure

A mixture of 3-(5-nitro-indol-1-yl)-hexanoic acid ethyl ester (1.49 g, 4.9 mmol), and 10% palladium on activated carbon (149 mg) in ethanol (15 mL) was hydrogenated in a hydrogen balloon for 2 days. The mixture was filtered through Celite, and the Celite was washed with methanol. The filtrate and washing were combined, concentrated, and flash chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with EtOAc/DCM (20, 30%) to afford the title compound (1.05 g, 78% yield) as dark brown oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.22 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.05 (d, 1H, J=3.2 Hz), 6.90 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 6.66 (dd, 1H, J=2.2, 8.7 Hz), 6.33 (d, 1H, J=3.2 Hz), 4.78–4.73 (m, 1H), 4.02–3.96 (m, 2H), 3.47 (bs, 2H), 2.87–2.74 (m, 2H), 1.94–1.87 (m, 1H), 1.84–1.77 (m, 1H), 1.27–1.09 (m, 2H), 1.08 (t, 3H, J=7.1 Hz), 0.85 (t, 3H, J=7.3 Hz).
