1-Amino-2-methylindoline.

It was synthesized at 5 °C and pH 9 by reacting 1-amino-2-
by ORIL INDUSTRIE in the mesylate form after treatment by
methane sulphonic acid. Extraction of the hydrazine from the
mesylate and its purification was effected according to the
following procedure: 60 g of the pink-powder (mesylate) are
dissolved in 500 mL of water then neutralized by addition of
methylindoline and chloramine in stoichiometric conditions
(10 × 10-3 M). The solid obtained was filtered, washed, recrys-
tallized in hexane and dried under vacuum. Its purity is close
to 99.2%; ms (70 eV): m/z 292 (M+, 6.4), 264 (22.7), 262

0 g of sodium hydroxide. Mixture is then extracted with 120
mL of hexane. Evaporation of the organic solvent yields to a
red-brown solid which titrates about 91% with respect to the
mesylate. Analysis by gc indicates that the principal impuri-
ties are the 2-methylindoline, the 2-methylindole and the
-amino-2-methylindole. To obtain a high purity product, the
crystals are melted and distilled under reduced pressure taking
into account the high boiling point of the NAMI (255 °C at
60 Torr). Distillation is carried out under a pressure of 5 Torr.
The melting point of the hydrazine is 45 °C. After elimination
of the light fractions, the temperature of the boiler reaches
75 °C whereas that of the head of column is established to
30 °C. The temperature of the refrigerant is maintained at
5 °C, which permit to the vapour to condense without crys-
tallisation. NAMI obtained in liquid state is then collected at
the room temperature where it crystallizes in the form of white
solid. Both gc and elementary analyses show a purity higher
than 99%. The principal impurities still present are the MI and
the 1-amino-2-methylindole. Because of the instability of the
NAMI, the procedure were repeated before each use. This
compound being not previously studied, a complete character-

1,1'-Bi(2-methyl)indoline.
It is obtained by pyrolysis of the tetrazene at 150 °C during
several hours. One forms a red-black liquid of which the purity
does not exceed 95%. The principal impurity is the azo(2-
methyl)indoline.
