Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,8-dimethylpyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)acetonitrile (500 mg, 2 mmol) was treated with diisobutylaluminum hydride (6.2 ml, 6.2 mmol) in toluene (10 ml) at 80° C. to obtain 250 mg of 2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,8-dimethylpyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)ethanamine after purification on silica gel (230-400 mesh) chromatography eluting with methanol-dichloromethane gradient.
