1-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-7-nitro-1H-indole-1,2-dicarboxylate → HCID 59303538, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-7-nitro-1H-indole-1,2-dicarboxylate (3.9 g), 10% palladium-carbon (50% containing water, 400 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) was stirred at room temperature under hydrogen atmosphere at normal pressure for 6 hr. The catalyst was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (3.22 g, yield 89%) as a colorless solid from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (9:1, volume ratio).
