Commercially available Pd/C can be used as a catalyst for nitro group reductions with only 0.4 mol % Pd loading. The reaction can be performed using either silane as a transfer hydrogenating agent or simply a hydrogen balloon (μ1 atm pressure). With this technology, a series of nitro compounds was reduced to the desired amines in high chemical yields. Both the catalyst and surfactant were recycled several times without loss of reactivity.

Page/Page column 16-17, (2010/02/14)
The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of eletriptan (I), or its enantiomer comprising a modified Fischer indole synthesis, namely the reaction of a compound of formula (II), wherein R1 is a suitable hydrazine protecting group, with a compound of formula (III) wherein R2is an aldehyde group (-CHO) or the functional equivalent thereof.
