Reaktionsschritte

5-Cyanoindole (Aldrich, 20.0 g) was added to a solution of KOH (22.4 g) in methanol (200 ml). N-Methyl-4-piperidone (Aldrich, 40.4 g) was then added dropwise and the resulting mixture refluxed for 4 hours, then cooled and poured into water. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and dried to give the desired product as a pale pink crystalline solid (32.6 g).
