Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-methyl-6-nitro-1H-indole (5.0 g, 28.4 mmol) and 10% Pd/C(1.0 g) in ethanol (200 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to give 1-methyl-6-amino-1H-indole after crystallization from ether/hexane (3.8 g, 80%).
