Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that of Example 1D but using 63 g. of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole and 18 g. of 10% palladium-on-charcoal in 600 ml. mesitylene (18 hours reflux) there was obtained, on recrystallization first from isopropyl alcohol and then from tetrahydrofuran-hexane, 58.5 g. of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylindole; m.p. 141°-142°C.
