A large excess of Raney® nickel was added in portions to a stirred solution of ethyl 1-benzyl-5-nitro-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (1.20 g, 3 mmol) and hydrazine (1.5 mL, 47.9 mmol) in 50 mL of ethanol. After stirring at room temperature for 2 h the catalyst was then removed by filtering through a short pad of Celite®521. The filtrate was concentrated to give ethyl 5-amino-1-benzyl-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (1.0 g, 90%) as an off-white solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 0.91 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H, 4.03 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H, 4.77 (s, 2H, 5.71 (s, 2H, 6.61 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H, 6.75 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H, 7.21-7.45 (m, 11H); MS (EI) m/z 371.2 (MH+).
