Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-nitroindole-2-carboxylate (2.3 g) and 10% palladium on carbon (0.5 g) in ethanol (400 ml) were stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 3 hours. The reaction was then filtered through Celite and concentrated to give the end product as a pale brown solid (1.4 g, 70%); NMR δ (CD3SOCD3) 1.3 (t, 3H), 4.3 (q, 2H), 5.4 (s, 2H), 6.1 (d, 1H), 6.6 (d, 1H), 6.9 (dd, 1H), 7.3 (s, 11H), 11.4 (bs, 1H); M/z (+) 205 (MH+).
