Procedure

Furthermore, 7-benzyloxyindole (404 mg, 1.81 mmol) was hydrogenated over 10% palladium on carbon (40 mg) in EtOH (4.2 mL) at ambient temperature under atmosphere pressure for 6 h. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with EtOH. The filtrate was concentrated to give 7-hydroxyindole as pale purple crystals, which was rapidly and directly used for the next reaction.

Workup

  1. filtrationThe catalyst was filtered off
  2. washwashed with EtOH
  3. concentrationThe filtrate was concentrated
