Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-(4-hydroxy-cyclohex-1-enyl)-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.251 g, 0.880 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) is added to a slurry of palladium (0.200 g, 5% in carbon) in THF (2 mL). The mixture is stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen (balloon) at room temperature for 12 h. The mixture is filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound (0.202 g, 80%). MS m/z 288.3 (M+1)
