Reaction Steps

A mixture of the nitroindole (D9) (0.5 g; 2.8 mM) and 5% palladium on charcoal in ethanol (75 ml) was hydrogenated at 60 p.s.i. (4.14×105Pa) at room temperature for 2 h. Removal of the catalyst by filtration followed by evaporation of the solvent gave the title compound (0.44 g; 97%).
