Reaction Steps

6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (35 mg, 0.09 mmol, 1 equiv.), is dissolved in anhydrous THF (1 ml), MeOH (8 ml), and palladium on charcoal (10 mg, 0.009 mmol, 0.1 equiv.), are then added in an autoclave which is flushed with argon and then pressurized with H2 (10 bar). The reaction is carried out at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture is then filtered over Mite and washed with AcOEt. The green solid obtained is washed with methanol to afford the product as a slightly green solid (26 mg, 0.07 mmol), in 79% yield.
