N,N-dimethyl-1-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methanamine

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: AcOH, 236 ml., was mixed with cooling and stirring with 62 m. of 37% formaldehyde at 10°, and 154 ml of 25% aqueous dimethylamine was added dropwise with cooling so as to maintain the temperature at 10°. A solution of 100 g of 2-methylindole in 160 ml of dioxane was then added dropwise with cooling, again maintaining the temperature at 10°. The mixture was stirred at ice temperature for 1 hour and then overnight at room temperature. The mixture was then poured into 2.0 of water with stirring. A small amount of insoluble material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was treated with activated charcoal, filtered again, and the filtrate cooled and basified by the dropwise addition of about 225 ml. of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide. The product was collected by filtration, washed with water, and air dried, yield 96 g. This material was dissolved in 700 ml of dilute aqueous HCl, treated with activated carbon, filtered, and again basified after diluting to 2 l. with water. The product was collected, air dried, and recrystallized from acetonitrile, yield 72 g., m.p. 117°-119°. , was mixed with cooling with cooling so as to maintain the temperature at 10° with cooling again maintaining the temperature at 10° The mixture was stirred at ice temperature for 1 hour overnight at room temperature with stirring A small amount of insoluble material was removed by filtration The filtrate was treated with activated charcoal filtered again the filtrate cooled basified by the dropwise addition of about 225 ml The product was collected by filtration washed with water, and air dried This material was dissolved in 700 ml of dilute aqueous HCl treated with activated carbon filtered after diluting to 2 l The product was collected air dried recrystallized from acetonitrile, yield 72 g
