Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine (6.00 g, 37.50 mmol) in DMSO (8.0 mL, 112.50 mmol) was added concentrated hydrochloric acid (9.5 mL, 112.50 mmol) slowly. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. in a sealed tube for 16 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered. The resulting cake was stirred in EtOH (15 mL). The mixture was filtered and dried to give the desired title compound as a brown solid (5.00 g, 23.64 mmol, 63% yield). MS (ESI) m/z 177.2 [M+H]+.
