Procedure

To a solution of 2-tert-butyl-1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-indole (3.00 g, 13.7 mmol) in MeOH (30 mL) was added Raney Ni (0.3 g) under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) at room temperature overnight. The mixture was filtered through a Celite pad and the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (P.E/EtOAc 20:1) to give 2-tert-butyl-1-methyl-1H-indol-5-amine (1.7 g, 66%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.09 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.89-6.9 (m, 1H), 6.66 (dd, J=2.4, 8.7 Hz, 1H), 6.14 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 3.40 (brs, 2H), 1.45 (s, 9H); MS (ESI) m/e (M+H+) 203.1.
