7-Nitrooxindole → 7-aminoindolin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-nitroindoline-2-one in methanol (1.0 gm/60 mL), added Pd/C (300 mg, 30 wt %). H2 gas maintained with pressure using hydrogen gas balloon, solution stirred for 4 hours at RT. The catalyst was removed by filtration over celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give crude product, which was washed with diethyl ether to afford compound 7-aminoindolin-2-one; YD: 76.77%; mp: 248-251° C.; Rf: 0.6 (CHCl3:MeOH: 9.0:1.0). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 200 MHz, δ: 3.382 (s, 2H), 4.794 (s, 2H), 6.453-6.498 (m, 2H), 6.673 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 9.906 (s, 1H). MS (ESI): m/z 146.8 [M−H]−.
