Resolution of (RS)-tetrindole (3) and enantioselective reductions of the imine 7 yielded (S)-(+)-(4) and (R)-(-)-tetrindole (5). The absolute stereochemistry of 4 was established by X-ray analysis of the corresponding Mosher amide 6. From in vitro as well as in vivo data (MAO-inhibition, levels of monoamines and their respective metabolites in rat brain), 4 was identified as the eutomer.
(RS)-四氢吲哚(3)的拆分以及亚胺7的对映选择性还原得到了(S)-(+)-(4)和(R)-(-)-四氢吲哚(5)。通过对相应的莫舍尔酰胺6进行X射线分析确定了4的绝对立体化学结构。根据体外和体内数据(单胺氧化酶抑制、大鼠脑中单胺及其各自代谢物的水平),4被确定为优映体。
