Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-tert-butyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (2.0 g, 9.1 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) was added DDQ at room temperature. After refluxing for 2.5 h, the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give 2-tert-butyl-6-nitro-1H-indole (1.6 g, 80%).
