Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.9 g (0.041 mole) of 1-methyl-5-nitroindole-3-acetonitrile in 600 ml of THF was added 3 g of 10% Pd/C. The mixture was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus at 50 psi for 6 hours. The resulting mixture was filtered through celite treated with charcoal and filtered again through celite. The solvent was removed in vacuo leaving 7.2 g of the tan solid. This material was used directly without purification for the next step.
