Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6-chloro-2-(5-chloro-2-nitrobenzoyl)-3-(propionylamino)indole (step 3, 540 mg, 1.33 mmol), ammonium chloride (35.6 mg, 0.665 mmol), iron powder (391 mg, 6.65 mmol), ethanol (20 ml) and water (10 ml) was heated at reflux temperature for 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated to give a crystalline residue. Purification by flash column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:3) afforded 394 mg (79%) of 2-(2-amino-5-chlorobenzoyl)-6-chloro-3-(propionylamino)indole. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ: 11.67 (1H, br s), 9.76 (1H, br s), 7.58 (1H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 7.43 (1H, d, J=1.5 Hz), 7.35 (1H, d, J=2.5 Hz), 7.26 (1H, dd, J=2.5, 8.9 Hz), 7.09 (1H, dd, J=1.8, 8.6 Hz), 6.99 (2H, br s), 6.83 (1H, d, J=8.9 Hz), 2.12 (2H, q, J=7.6 Hz), 0.90 (3H, t, J=7.6 Hz).
