“…The product was purified by chromatography on silica gel using EtOAc/MeOH/NH 4 OH (9:1:0.1) to afford 21c (0.045 g, 71%) as a tan solid. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 7.96 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.54 (d, J = 3.8 Hz, 1H), 7.12 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (dd, J = 8.8, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 6.45 (d, J = 3.8 Hz, 1H), 3.31 (s, 2H), 2.81 (s, 2H), 2.60 (s, 3H), 2.00−1.89 (m, 2H), 1.87−1.77 (m, 1H), 1.66 (s, 9H), 1.51−1.41 (m, 1H), 1.32 (dd, J = 13.2, 6.6 Hz, 2H) ppm; 13 tert-Butyl 4-((1R,2R,4S,5S)-9-Methyl-3,9-diazatricyclo[3.3.1.0 2,4 ]nonan-3-yl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (21d). Synthesized from 20d (0.100 g, 0.206 mmol, 1.0 equiv), hydrazine monohydrate (0.030 mL, 0.310 mmol, 1.5 equiv), Raney Ni (0.024 g, 0.412 mmol, 2.0 equiv), 37% CH 2 O (aq) (0.017 mL, 0.227 mmol, 1.1 equiv), and MeOH (2.0 mL, 0.1 M) following the general procedure for the deprotectionreduction-reductive amination sequence.…”
