Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 314717, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere 4-methylpiperidine (0.109 ml, 0.09 g, 0.92 mmol), dissolved in 2.0 ml of ethyl acetate, was added to a round bottom flask which was then placed in an ice bath. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.084 ml) was then added and the reaction mixture was removed from the ice bath. To the reaction mixture were added formaldehyde (0.304 g, 1.01 mmol), sodium acetate (0.113 g, 1.38 mmol), and 1-methyl-2-(4-chlorophenoxymethyl)-1H-indole (0.250 g, 0.92 mmol). The resulting mixture was then heated to reflux and maintained at this temperature overnight. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography.
