Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Refluxed the reaction mixture of 5-(2-chloroethyl)-6-chloro oxindole (100 gm), 3-(1-piperazinyl)-1,2-benzisothiazole (104.7 gm), sodium carbonate (92.2 gm), sodium iodide (6.4 gm), tetra butyl ammonium bromide (28 gm) and cyclohexane (1000 mL) till the reaction was completed. The reaction mass was cooled to a temperature of 30° C. and the solid was filtered. To the wet compound was added water (1000 mL) and continued stirring for 45 minutes. The solid was filtered and washed with water (100 mL). To the water wet compound was added acetone (500 mL) and there was stirring for 2 hours at room temperature. The compound was filtered and washed with acetone (200 mL) and dried at a temperature of 70-75° C. to afford the Crude Ziprasidone base (156.9 g)
