Procedure
To a solution of (R)-3-(1-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-6-fluoro-5-nitro-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-methylbutan-1-ol containing some 3-(6-fluoro-5-nitro-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-methylbutan-1-ol (500 mg, 1.3 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added ammonium formate (500 mg, 7.9 mmol) and Pd/C (10%, 139 mg, 0.13 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 5 min. The Pd catalyst was removed via filtration through Celite and washed with ethanol. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and purified by column chromatography (30-50% ethyl acetate-hexanes) to provide (R)-3-(5-amino-1-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-6-fluoro-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-methylbutan-1-ol (220 mg, 48%, contains some 3-(5-amino-6-fluoro-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-methylbutan-1-ol). ESI-MS m/z calc. 350.2 found 351.4 (M+1)+. Retention time 0.94 minutes.
