"RANEY NICKEL HYDROGENOLYSIS OF THIOAMIDES: A NEW AMINE SYNTHESIS"
E. Kornfeld in J.O.C., 16, 131-138 (1951)

General procedure
The thioamide (10 g) was placed in a 500-ml. round-bottom flask with the wet
catalyst, and 200 ml. of solvent (80% ethanol or 80% dioxane) was added. A slight
exothermic reaction was often noted at this point. The mixture was then refluxed
for the period noted in the Tables after which the flask was cooled. The catalyst
was filtered and washed thoroughly with alcohol and a little water and dried
to accurately determine the dry weight.
The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, the crude product was taken up in ether,
and dilute HCl was added to dissolve the amine. The acid axtract was separated,
made alkaline with KOH, ether added, and the ether extract dried over solid
KOH. Dry HCl was passed into the filtered ether solution, and the hydrochloride
was purified by recristallization. In most instances alcohol-ether was a satisfactory
solvent.

Solvents: E - 80% ethanol, D - 80% dioxane, I - 80% isopropanol
Таким образом, объединяя эти две методики, получаем триптаминчики из 3-ацетилиндола.
Тока на первой стадии брать надо не морфолин, а амин поинтереснее, например
диизопропиламин. Этим же путем мона превращать нитрилы а первичные амины: RCN
+ H2S => RCSNH2 => RCH2NH2.

.a Reduction in the presence of ZnCl2. b Reduction in the
presence of SnCl4.
General Procedure for Preparation of Thioamides.
To a solution of the amide (2.5 mmol) in dioxane (15 ml), which has been distilled
from sodium benzophenone ketyl, was treated with P2S5 (3.0 mmol), and the heterogeneous
mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. The progress of the reaction was followed
by TLC and, if necessary, the solution was warmed to 350C until the
amide was consumed. The dioxane was decanted from the residual solid and filtered.
Evaporation of the dioxane left crude thioamide, which was purified by distillation
or recrystallisation. Yields were 50-70%.
General Procedures for Methylation and Reduction of Thioamides.
The thioamide (1-5 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (10-25 ml) and treated
with a fivefold axcess of methyl iodide. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t.
until disappearance of the thioamide was complete as judged by TLC (0.5-12 h).
In most cases the salt precipitated. The THF was evaporated under reduced pressure
and the residual salt dried in vacuo. The dry salt was then dissolved in dry methanol
(25-50 ml) and treated cautiously with 1.1 molar equiv of solid sodium borohydride
(vigorous gas evolution) or sodium cyanoborohydride. When sodium cyanoborohydride
was to be used as the reducing agent, acetic acid (20 ml, 1:1 acetic acid/water)
was added to the methanolic solution of the thioamide. Upon addition of the sodium
borohydride there was immediate gas evolution, including methanethiol (stench).
The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and then made strongly alkaline with
20% NaOH solution. The mixture was extracted with ether, and the extracts were
dried over K2CO3, evaporated on a rotary evaporator, and distilled to give pure
amines.
