Procedure

A mixture of the 1-[(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde of Step A (4.97 g), acetic acid (0.5 mL), magnesium sulfate (0.5 g) and 10% palladium on charcoal (0.5 g) in ethyl acetate (50 mL) was hydrogenated overnight at atmospheric pressure. The reaction was then filtered through Celite and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the crude title compound as an amber foam (3.2 g) which was used in the next step without further purification.
