Participants

Reaction Steps

eq-Quinolizidin-2-ylmethyl 1 H-indole-3-carboxylate was treated initially with N-chlorosuccinimide (1.5 equivalents) for 2 h, then with 3-bromo-1-propanol (2 equivalents) for 16 h, followed by anhydrous potassium carbonate in acetone, using the method described in Example 1b. The crude product was purified using the same chromatography conditions as in Example 1b to afford the title compound as a colourless oil (51%). This was converted to its hydrochloride salt and crystallised from acetone mp 164°-167° C.
