To a solution of 2-methyl-1H-indole-4-carbonitrile (408 mg, 2.61 mmol) in NH3/MeOH (7 M, 20 mL) was added Raney nickel (100 mg). The mixture was stirred under hydrogen at 1 atmosphere at RT for 3 h. The mixture was filtered with Celite® and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford (2-methyl-1H-indol-4-yl)methanamine (105) as a yellow solid (398 mg, 95.1%). MS (ESI): m/z=144.3 [M−16]+.
