Diisobutylaluminum hydride → HCID 178435560, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-cyano-4-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocyclopent[b]indole (0.28 g, 1.33 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was cooled in an ice-bath then treated with DIBAL-H (0.189 g, 1.33 mmol). The reaction was then allowed to reach room temperature and was stirred for 15 hours before diluting with dichloromethane and pouring into a saturated solution of sodium potassium tartrate. The organic layer was separated then washed with brine. The crude product was purified by column chromatography eluting with dichloromethane, to afford 0.2 g of title compound.
