Reaction Steps

After 2.24 g (23.4 mmol) of guanidine hydrochloride was added to 50 ml of a methanol solution of 1.26 g (23.4 mmol) of sodium methoxide, 0.80 g (2.34 mmol) of benzyl 1-benzyl-5-indolecarboxylate was added to the resulting mixture. The mixture was then stirred for 30 hours while heating at 50 to 60° C. Methanol was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography followed by treatment with 2N hydrochloric acid to give 0.08 g (10.4%) of 1-benzyl-5-indoloylguanidine hydrochloride.
