Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(3-methyl-7-nitro-1H-indol-2-yl)propan-1-one (0.29 g), 10% palladium-carbon (50% containing water, 0.03 g), ethanol (4 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight under a hydrogen atmosphere. Palladium-carbon was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and the title compound (0.17 g, yield 70%) was obtained as yellow crystals from a fraction eluted with tetrahydrofuran-hexane (1:1, volume ratio). melting point>194° C. (decomposition).
