Participants

Reaction Steps

2.1 g of the free base of EMD281014 are heated in 50 ml of acetone, and water is added until a clear solution is formed. A mixture of 0.6 ml of hydrochloric acid (w=37%) and 1.2 ml of acetone is then stirred in. The mixture is subsequently evaporated to half the volume in a rotary evaporator. The precipitated hydrochloride is filtered off with suction, washed with acetone and diethyl ether and dried, giving 1.6 g of 7-{4-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-piperazine-1-carbonyl}-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile, hydrochloride (69% of theory), decomposition range 314-319°.
