Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-azaindole (23.6 g, 0.20 mol) and hexamethylenetetramine (42 g, 0.30 mol) in 33% acetic acid (84 g, 1.4 mol and 168 ml H2O) is refluxed for 6 h. The resulting clear yellow solution is diluted with water, and the product is allowed to crystallize in the refrigerator overnight. Recrystallization of the crude product from water gave almost pure title compound in 50% yield (14.9 g). m.p. 216°-218° C.
