Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-formylindole -4 -carboxylic acid methyl ester oxime (1.6 g), described in Example 2 and platinum oxide (120 mg) in 60 ml of acetic acid is stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere for 16 hr. Removal of the catalyst and concentration of the solution affords an oily residue [the acetic acid addition salt of 3-(aminomethyl)indole -4-carboxylic acid methyl ester] . The oil is suspended in water. The mixture is rendered alkaline with 10% NaOH. The solid is collected, triturated with 30% acetone in benzene and recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound, mp. 232°-234°C, νmaxCHCl3 1668 cm-1.
