Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of the above nitro compound ( 300 mg, 1.2 mmol) in EtOH (25 mL) and EtOAc (5 mL) was added solid ammonium formate (750 mg, 11.9 mmol) followed by 10% Pd—C (50 mg). The mixture was stirred for 2 h at room temperature, and then filtered through a short pad of diatomaceous earth and washed with EtOH/EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated to give 1-(4-aminophenyl)-2-methylindol (0.22 g).
