1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-amine

Conditions: temp:100.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: (1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester was prepared by treatment of commercially available 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-ylamine (JW Pharmaceutical #7578-79-2) with BOC anhydride. The (1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.28 g, 5.15 mmol), together with 5-bromoindole (0.67 g, 3.44 mmol), Pd2dba3 (0.063 g, 0.069 mmol), XPHOS (0.082 g, 0.17 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.2 g, 8.6 mmol) and tert-butabol (10 mL) were combined in a 50 mL tube. The tube was sealed and heated to 100° C. with stirring for 18 hours. The tube was then cooled to room temperature and the contents were partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was separated and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (0% to 25% EtOac/hexanes) to give 1.3 g of [1-(1H-indol-5-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinolin-4-yl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester. The tube was sealed The tube was then cooled to room temperature the contents were partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate The organic phase was separated concentrated under reduced pressure the residue was purified by flash chromatography (0% to 25% EtOac/hexanes)
