“…N-Phenyl-5H-pyrimido [5,4-b]indole-4-amine Hydrochloride (34). Reaction of 4-chloro-5H-pyrimido [5,4-b]indole hydrochloride (11) 23 (240 mg, 1.0 mmol), aniline (0.273 mL, 3 mmol), and EtOH (1 mL) was followed by dilution of the suspension with EtOH (4 mL). The solid was collected, washed with H2O and EtOH, and then recrystallized from DMF/H2O to give 34 ( The lower band was extracted to give 67 (12 mg, 3%) as a yellow solid: mp 193-194 °C; 1 H NMR δ 9.65 (1H, br s, NH), 8.68 (1H, s, H-2), 8.14 (1H, d, J ) 1.9 Hz, H-2′), 7.79-7.76 (2H, m, H-6, H-6′), 7.29-7.23 (3H, m, H-5′, H-4′, H-9), 6.99 (1H, dd, J ) 2.4, 8.8 Hz, H-7), 6.03 (1H, q, J ) 5.1 Hz, NHCH3), 2.73 (3H, d, J ) 4.9 Hz, NHCH3); CIMS m/z (relative intensity) 387 ( 81 Br, MH + , 92), 386 ( 81 Br, M + , 97), 385 ( 79 Br, MH + , 100), 384 ( 79 Br, M + , 77).…”
