1-cyclohexanesulfonyl-3-(1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl) 5-nitro-1H-indole → 5-amino-1-cyclohexanesulfonyl-3-(1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)-1H-indole

Participants

Reaction Steps

200 mg of 50% Pd/C with a humidity of 5% were added to a solution of 403 mg (1 mMol) of 1-cyclohexanesulfonyl-3-(1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)-5-nitro-1H-indole in 200 ml of ethanol. The resulting suspension was hydrogenized at 25 psi of overpressure for 20 hours. Then the catalyst was filtered and evaporated to drying. The resulting crude was purified by chromatography and 150 mg (40%) of the mentioned compound were obtained as a solid cream.
