Hydrazine → 2-[2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-{2-[2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-ethyl}-isoindole-1,3-dione (87 mg in a mixture of 4 mL tetrahydrofuran and 4 mL ethanol) was added 0.6 mL of 95% aqueous hydrazine and the reaction stirred at room temperature. After 18 hours the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (methylene chloride:methanol:ammonium hydroxide, 9:6:1) to provide the title compound (54 mg).
