Participants

Reaction Steps

(4-Bromo-7-methoxy-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)acetonitrile (47.0 mg, 0.152 mmol) and triethylamine (22.3 μL, 0.160 mmol) were dissolved in ethyl acetate (1.5 mL), a 10% palladium-carbon powder (10 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hr under a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was filtered off using celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (30.4 mg, yield 100%).
