Potassium Carbonate → [3-(4-Indol-1-yl-piperidin-1-yl)-propyl]-dimethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-N-[1-N-(3-chloro-propyl)-piperidin-4-yl]-indole (900 mg, 3.25 mmol), anhydrous potassium carbonate (440 mg, 3.25 mmol) and dimethylammonium hydrochloride (260 mg, 3.25 mmol) in absolute ethanol (10 mL) was refluxed for 6 hours, evaporated and suspended in water. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride, dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate, and evaporated to yield 1 g of the desired compound (100% of theory).
