Reaction Steps

To a refluxing suspension of amide F4 (2.02 g, 5.36 mmol) in 2:1 EtOH:H2O (100 mL) were sequentially added Fe dust (1.20 g, 21.44 mmol) and c.HCl (2 mL), and the resulting suspension was refluxed for 14 h. After this time, the hot reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was re-dissolved in hot H2O, and the resulting suspension filtered through a pad of Celite. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue dried via three MeOH-azeotrope cycles. The resulting residue was reprecipitated from acidified MeOH to afford triamine F5 (2.18 g, quantitative) as an amorphous cream solid; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO): δ 11.30 (s, 1H, hydrazonyl-N+—H), 10.05 (s, 1H, ArC(O)NHAr), 8.21 (s, 1H, ArH), 8.20-7.55 (m, 8H, ArH & ═C(NH2)2), 7.36 (t, J=7.90 Hz, 1H, ArH), 6.91 (d, J=7.96 Hz, 1H, ArH), 5.30 (v br s, 3H, ArNH3+), 2.35 (s, 3H, Ar(CH3)═N—); LCMS (APCI+): 311 (100%).
