A series of 3-indolylalkylaminoalcohols have been obtained from the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the amides prepared by the reaction of 3-indoleglyoxylyl chloride and 2-methyl-3-indoleglyoxylyl chloride with primary aminoalcohols. When acetone was used as solvent in the reaction of 3-indoleglyoxylyis chloride and either 2-aminoethanol or 3-aminopropanol, the solvent participated in the reaction resulting in the formation of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-indoleglyoxyl)oxazolidine and 2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-indoleglyoxyl)tetrahydro-1,3-oxazine respectively. When the latter two compounds were reduced by lithium aluminum hydride, both carbonyl groups were completely reduced and reductive cleavage of the oxazolidine and tetrahydro-1,3-oxazine rings occurred to form the corresponding open-chain alcohols.

The hydrolysis of a pyridine solution of lithium tetrakis(N-dihydropyridyl)aluminate (LDPA), which was prepared at 0 °C, yields a mixture of 1,4-, 1,2-, and 2,5-dihydropyridines (DHPs) in a ratio of 26:37:38. The subsequent reversible base-catalyzed condensation of a 1:1 mixture of 1,2- and 2,5-DHPs carried out in the presence of oxygen affords an 89% yield of (±)-anatabine. When the reaction mixture is allowed to stand in the presence of oxygen, anabasine is slowly formed from anatabine by the reaction of the residual DHPs. Anatabine can also be converted into (±)-anabasine by catalytic hydrogenation. Keywords: lithium aluminum hydride, pyridine, anatabine, anabasine.
