Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (500 mg, 2.3 mmol) in DMSO (0.8 mL) was added hydrochloric acid (36%, 1.3 g, 12.8 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. in a sealed tube for 6 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered. The resulting cake was stirred in EtOH (5 mL). The mixture was filtered and dried to give the desired product (250 mg, 1.28 mmol, 47% yield) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/z 195.1 [M+H]+.
