Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde is dissolved in methanol and treated with 1M ethereal hydrochloric acid. After stirring for 30 min., the solvent is removed and the residue is dissolved in a small amount of methanol and treated with ether to precipitate 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-1-phenyl-1H -indole-3-carboxaldehyde hydrochloride (85% yield) as a cream solid.
