Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 68538988, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 7-chloro-1-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (12.9 g, 46.9 mmol) in ethanol (280 ml) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (16.7 ml, 96.0 mmol) was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (6.8 g, 121.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to reflux and stirred for 6 h before cooling to room temperature and the solvent removed in vacuo. The solid was dissolved in dichloromethane, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent removed in vacuo. The resulting solid was crystallised from diethyl ether to yield 7-chloro-1-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxamidine (13.1 g, 42.5 mmol) as an off white solid.
