Reaktionsschritte

Combine 6-fluorotryptamine hydrochloride (90 g, 0.419 mol) and water (900 ml). Add an aqueous solution of NaOH (2N, 230 ml) and dichloromethane (900 ml). After 1 hour, separate the organic layer, extract the aqueous layer with dichloromethane, combine the organic layers, wash water, dry over MgSO4, and evaporate to a residue. Combine the residue and toluene (200 ml) and evaporate to give 78.45 g of a brown oil. Combine the above 78.5 g with another 41.4 g batch to provide 6-fluorotryptamine. Combine 6-fluorotryptamine (119.85) and ethanol (3.325 L), add 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxybenzaldehyde (176 g, 0.745 moles, 1.2 equiv.) and 150 g of molecular sleve 3 Å. Heat to reflux. After 2 hours, cool to RT room temperature and add NaBH4 (35.2 g, 0.93 mol, 1.5 equiv.). After 1 hour, filter through celite and wash with 500 ml of ethanol. Evaporate the filtrate under reduced pressure to give an oily residue. Partition the residue between water and dichloromethane. Separate the layers, extract the aqueous later with dichloromethane, combine organic layers, wash with brine and dry over MgSO4. Filter and evaporate under reduced pressure to give the title compound.
