Butylamine → HCID 59455028, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Palladium (II)acetate (314 mg, 1.4 mmol) and 2-(di-t-butylphosphino)biphenyl (418 mg, 1.4 mmol) were charged in a reaction bottle which was evacuated and backfilled with nitrogen. Toluene (10 mL) was added dropwise under nitrogen and stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was passed through basic alumina using 0-30% ether:hexane and triturated with pentane to get brownish solid. Yield: 300 mg. 8-Chloro-5-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)prop-1-enyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (50 mg, 0.282 mmol), Sodium tert-butoxide (81.2 mg, 0.846 mmol), and palladacycle [palladium (II)acetate+2-(di-t-butylphosphino)biphenyl) (10.7 mg, 0.0282 mmol)] were charged in a reaction bottle which was evacuated and back filled with nitrogen for 5 min. Dry toluene (1 mL) was added under nitrogen atmosphere. Finally, butylamine (14.43 mg, 0.197 mmol) was added and the contents heated at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and the precipitate washed with EtOAc (2×25 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum and purified by reverse phase chromatography to yield 15 mg of free base. 1H NMR (CD3OD, free base) δ (ppm): 7.60 (m, 2H), 7.12 (t, 2H), 6.96 (d, 1H), 6.90 (s, 1H), 6.72 (s, 1H), 6.68 (d, 1H), 3.76 (s, 2H), 3.10 (t, 2H), 2.95 (m, 2H), 2.84 (m, 2H), 2.60 (s, 3H), 1.96 (s, 3H), 1.82 (q, 2H), 1.45 (q, 2H), 0.95 (t, 3H).
