Reaction Steps

If the 2-nitrobutane in Example 1 is replaced by the corresponding quantity of 2-nitropentane, using the same procedure as in Example 1, the intermediate product obtained is 3-(2'-methyl-2'-nitropentyl)-indole; melting point 78°-80°C (from petroleum ether). Reduction yielded 3-(2'-methyl-2'-aminopentyl)-indole, which after recrystallisation from petroleum ether yields needle-shaped crystals of a melting point of 73.5° to 74.5°C.
