Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2,4-Dimethoxy-benzyl)-hexahydro-indole-2,6-dione (47 mg, 0.15 mmol) in 7.0 M of ammonia in methanol (10 mL) was added palladium (10 wt % on activated carbon, 26 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under 1 atm of hydrogen gas for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered through celite and evaporated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient: 0 to 5% methanol in dichloromethane containing 2% triethylamine) yielded 28.7 mg (61%) of 6-Amino-1-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl)-octahydro-indol-2-one. LCMS (Method E, ESI): RT=0.94 min, m+H=305.2; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ: 7.11 (d, J=8.3, 1H), 6.52 (d, J=1.7, 1H), 6.50-6.44 (m, 1H), 4.73 (d, J=15.1, 1H), 4.13 (d, J=15.1, 1H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 3.64 (d, J=3.2, 1H), 2.56-2.52 (m, 1H), 2.49 (dd, J=16.5, 6.9, 1H), 2.25 (d, J=14.5, 1H), 2.19 (td, J=11.4, 5.7, 1H), 2.01 (d, J=16.2, 1H), 1.83-1.69 (m, 2H), 1.25 (s, 2H), 1.14 (s, 1H).
