Reaction Steps

To a solution of (Z)-1,3-dihydro-5-(4-nitrophenyl)ethynyl-3-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2H-indol-2-one (45 mg, 0.13 mmol) (from Example 89) in 1 mL of a 10% water in methanol solution and 0.5 mL THF was added zinc dust (145 mg, 2.21 0 mmol) followed by ammonium chloride (25 mg, 0.47 mmol). The reaction was heated at gentle reflux for 4 hours, at which time the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® (Fisher Scientific) and rinsed thoroughly with ethyl acetate. The resulting solution was diluted with 5 mL water and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting powder was recrystallized from EtOAc/hex to give (Z)-5-(4-aminophenyl)ethynyl-1,3-dihydro-3-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene]-2H-indol-2-one as a red powder. (Yield 24 mg, 56%).
