Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178424169, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methyl-6-(2-methylphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-one (0.70 g), aminoguanidine hydrochloride (0.34 g), concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.44 ml), water (0.44 ml) and ethanol (50 ml) was refluxed for 12 hours. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated. To the residue was added sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/MeOH/Et3N). The resulting oil was dissolved in ethanol, and to the solution was added 1N hydrochloric acid. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol-ethyl acetate to give 4-guanidinoimino-3-methyl-6-(2-methylphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole hydrochloride (Compound 6) (0.04 g) as colorless crystals.
