Abstract
In order to elucidate the mechanism of the one-stage synthesis of tryptamines that we discovered previously, 2-methyltryptamines obtained from phenylhydrazine labeled with the isotope 15N at the α- and β-nitrogen atoms have been studied by mass spectrometry. It has been shown that the β-nitrogen atom of the arylhydrazine forms the amino group of the aminoethyl moiety of tryptamine and the α-nitrogen atom of the phenylhydrazine becomes the indole nitrogen atom in the tryptamine molecule formed.
