STRUCTURE AND STEREOCHEMISTRY OF A HYDRAZONE DERIVATIVE OF HARMINE

For the first time we synthesized a hydrazone derivative of harmine, namely (Z)-8-(1-hydrazonoethyl)-7-methoxy-1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole based on indole alkaloid harmine. The structure of the synthesized compound is confirmed by NMR, mass spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction data.
