Notes:
4-, 5-, 6- and 7-cyanoindoles are converted in excellent yields into the corresponding formylindoles by sodium hypophosphite/nickel according to the method of BACKEBERG and STASKUN. Condensation of these formylindoles with nitromethane or nitroethane affords the related nitrovinyl-indoles, which are reduced to the aminoalkyl-indoles quoted in the title by means of lithium aluminium hydride.On the other hand, 5-chloroacetyl-indole is aminated by reaction with various secondary amines, and the aminoketones formed are reduced to the corresponding 5-(2-amino-1-hydroxy-alkyl)-indoles. Condensation of 1-acetyl-7-hydroxy-indoline with chloroacetyl chloride according to FRIEDEL-CRAFTS yields the 1-acetyl-4-chloroacetyl-7-hydroxy-indoline, which is transformed into indoline derivatives carrying a 2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl side-chain in position 4.
