Reaction Steps

Add 5 ml of water, 0.94 g (6.5 mmol) of 1-chloro-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethane hydrochloride and 1.19 g (5.44 mmol) of 7-chloro-9-hydroxyiminopyrrolo[1,2-a]indole (Preparation 46) in succession to a solution of 1.56 g (14.7 mmol) of sodium carbonate in 100 ml of acetone, then heat the reaction mixture at reflux for 36 hours. The acetone is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is taken up in 50 ml of water and extracted with diethyl ether. The ethereal phase is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, rendered colourless with animal charcoal, and then concentrated to dryness to yield the title product in the form of an oil (base).
