Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-(4-(Dimethylamino)cyclohex-1-enyl)-1H-indol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of compound 112 (0.21 g, 0.735 mmol) in dry methanol (5 mL) was treated with Ra—Ni (0.05 g) followed by hydrazine hydrate (0.22 mL, 7.359 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction was placed in a pre-heated oil bath and refluxed for 5 min. The reaction brought to room temperature, filtered through celite bed and washed with methanol (2×10 mL). The solvent was evaporated and crude was purified by column chromatography (2 M NH3 in methanol: CH2Cl2, 1:9) to obtain compound 113 (0.185 g, quantitative) as a foam. mp 63-65° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.40-1.52 (m, 1H), 1.97-2.02 (m, 1H), 2.08-2.57 (m, 11H), 4.47 (s, 2H), 5.99 (brs, 1H), 6.47 (dd, 1H, J=1.8, 8.4 Hz), 6.99 (d, 1H, J=0.9 Hz), 7.04 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.13 (d, 1H, J=2.4 Hz), 10.55 (s, 1H); ESI-MS m/z (%): 256 (MH+, 100), 211 (41).
