反応手順

Lithium aluminum hydride (3.80 g, 100.0 mmol) was added in 0.5 g portions over 30 min to a solution of 1H-indole-4-carbonitrile (prepared according to Clark, Robin D.; Repke, David B. J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1985, 22, 121-5; 7.50 g, 52.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (250 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux for 30 min. A solution of 1 M sodium hydroxide was added to quench excess lithium aluminum hydride. The mixture was filtered and the filter cake was washed with water. The filtrate was first made acidic with 1 N HCl and then made basic again by the addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The water layer was then extracted with nBuOH. Evaporation of nBuOH, and drying under vacuum gave 1H-indole-4-methanamine (6.24 g, 80%) as a beige solid.
