Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of compound methyl 4-oxo-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-5-carboxylate (73 mg, 0.3 mmol), acetic acid (0.15 mL, 2.6 mmol), and hydrazine hydrate (0.86 mL, 1.5 mmol) in methanol (4 mL) was heated at reflux. After 8 h, the solid was collected by hot filtration and washed with water, EtOAc, and dichloromethane, to give the target compound (42 mg, 62%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 11.70 (s, 1H), 9.79 (s, 1H), 7.36-7.38 (m, 2H), 7.05 (t, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 2.77-2.79 (m, 2H), 2.35-2.37 (m, 2H), and 1.92-1.93 (m, 2H). MS (ESI) m/e [M+1]+ 226.0.
