Triethylsilane → HCID 10782159, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.927 g (2.7 mmol) of 2-methyl-5-nitro-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-glycolic acid amide in 15 mL of trifluoroacetic acid was treated with 1.0 mL (6.0 mmol) of triethylsilane and the mixture stirred for 1.0 hour. After concentrating at reduced pressure, the residue was chromatographed on silca (eluted with EtOAc) and crystallized from MeOH/CH2Cl2 to give 455 mg (52% yield) of 2-methyl-5-nitro-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-acetamide, mp, 189°-192° C.
