Cyanogen Bromide → 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1'-cyanospiro[indoline-3,4'-piperidine]

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.95 g of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1'-methylspiro[indoline-3,4'-piperidine] (Example 2), 0.42 g of cyanogen bromide and 1 g of potassium carbonate in 25 ml of dichloromethane is stirred at ambient temperature for two hours. The reaction mixture is filtered and the filtrate concentrated to dryness leaving an oily residue which is crystallized from an acetone-hexane mixture leaving colorless crystals, mp 178.5°-180° C. of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1'-cyanospiro[indoline-3,4'-piperidine].
