Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-tert-butyl-5-nitro-1H-indole (2.5 g, 12 mmol) in MeOH (30 mL) was added Raney Nickel (0.2 g) under N2 protection. The mixture was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) at 15° C. for 1 h. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness under vacuum. The residue was purified by preparative HLPC to afford 3-tert-butyl-1H-indol-5-amine (0.43 g, 19%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.72 (br.s, 1H), 7.11 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.86 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.59 (dd, J=2.0, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.09 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 1.37 (s, 9H); MS (ESI) m/e (M+H+) 189.1.
