To a solution of 5-nitro-2-indanone (885 mg, 5 mmol) in THF (15 mL) was added dimethylamine (2N in THF, 5 mL, 10 mmol) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 5 h. Water was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc. Combined organic layers were washed with water and brine and dried over Na2SO4. The concentrated crude product was filtered through a short pad of silica gel (EtOAc:hexane=1:1) and the filtrate was concentrated to give dimethyl-(5-nitro-1H-inden-2-yl)-amine as a dark red solid (1.0 g, 98%). Dimethyl-(5-nitro-1H-inden-2-yl)-amine (1.0 g, 4.9 mmol) was hydrogenated using Pd/C (10% dry, ca. 300 mg) and H2 in MeOH:THF (1:1, 30 mL) at 1 atm at r.t. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate was concentrated. The concentrated filtrate was further purified via short silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc: MeOH=6:4) to give the title compound as a yellow solid (830 mg, 82%).
