“…(±)-a-2-(2-Hydroxyethylamino)-5-[l-(indol-3-yl)ethyl]-A2-thiazolin-4-one (24). Evaporation of the solvent gave an oil which, after chromatography on silica gel eluted with 10% methanol in ethyl acetate and trituration with hot chloroform, yielded 13% of the crystalline thiazolinone 24: mp 195-197 °C; TLC RfO.03; iw (KBr) 1670 (C=0), 1580 cm"1 (C=N); NMR (Me2SO-d6) 1.20 (d, 3, J = 7 Hz, CHCH3), 3.1-3.7 (m, 4, CH2CH2), 3.85 (m, 1, CHCH3), 4.75 (d, 1, J = 3 Hz, CHS), 4.80 (s, 1, D20 exchangeable, OH), 6.8-7.7 (m, 5, aromatic), 9.27 (s, br, 1, D20 exchangeable, N/íCH2), 10.86 (s, 1, D20 exchangeable, (±)-a-2-(2-JV,lV-Dimethylaminoethylamino)-5-[l-(indol-3-yl)ethyl]-A2-thiazolin-4-one Hydrochloride (25). The white solid which separated from the original reaction mixture was collected and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 22% (0.40 g) of crystalline thiazolinone hydrochloride 25: mp 208-209 °C; TLC /0.11; iw (KBr) 3400, (br, NH), 1700 (0=0), 1620 cm"1 (C=N); NMR (Me2SO-d6) 1.27 (d, 3, J = 7.0 Hz, CHCH3), 2.75 [s, 6, N(CH3)2], 3.23 (m, 2, NHCHj), 3.97 (m, 3, CH2N+ and CHCH3), 4.92 (d, 1, J = 4.0 Hz, CH-S), 6.8-7.7 (m, 5, aromatic), 9.5 (s, br, 1, D20 exchangeable, NfíCH2), 11.05 (s, 1, D20 exchangeable, indole NH).…”
