5-Nitro-2-oxindole → 5-Amino-2-oxindole

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one 30b (3.56 g, 20 mmol) was dissolved in 200 ml of acetic acid under stirring, and added with palladium on activated carbon (1.0 g, 5%) to the solution at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere. After thin lay chromatography showed the disappearance of starting materials, the reaction mixture was filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound 5-amino-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one 30c (2.04 g, yield 68.9%) as a white solid.
