Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-phenyl-1-propyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-one (0.80 g), aminoguanidine hydrochloride (0.46 g), concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.19 ml), water (0.19 ml) and ethanol (50 ml) was refluxed for 30 minutes. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in water and washed with diethylether. To the mixture was added 1N sodium hydroxide solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. Under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in ethanol. To the solution was added a solution of 4N hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate (2 ml). The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 4-guanidinoimino-6-phenyl-1-propyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole hydrochloride (Compound 9) (1.0 g) as colorless crystals of E/Z compounds.
