Procedure

Methyl 4-nitro-3-(2-oxopentyl)benzoate (5.42 g) is dissolved in a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) and methanol (20 ml), to which is added a suspension of sodium hydrosulfite (52.2 g) in water (60 ml). After having been refluxed for 2 hours, this is subjected to liquid-liquid separation by adding ethyl acetate (300 ml) and water (200 ml) thereto. The organic layer is washed with a saline solution, dried and concentrated. The resulting residue is purified through silica gel column chromatography to obtain 5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-propylindole (3.16 g).
