Participants

Reaction Steps

Indole-7-carboxylic acid (3.20 g, 0.02 mole) was dissolved in 30 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) and chilled with ice-water. N,N'-Carbonyldiimidazole (3.30 g, 0.02 mole) was then added and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 1 hour. At the end of this time N-phenylpiperazine (4.0 g, 0.025 mole) was added, the cold bath was removed., and the reaction mixture was allowed to come to room temperatureover 3 hours. The product was filtered off and recrystallized form toluene to give 3.30 g (54%) of 1-(1H-indol-7-ylcarbonyl)-4-phenylpiperazine, m.p.217°-219° C.
