Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 21491549, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.8 g (0.05 mole) of 2-isopropylaminopropylamine are added dropwise to a stirred solution of 12.5 g (0.05 mole) of 2-(p-chloro-phenacyl)cyclohexanone [Example 20(a)] in glacial acetic acid dropwise under nitrogen. After refluxing for 5 hours, the reaction mixture is cooled and poured into 500 ml. of water. The pH is adjusted to 1 with dilute hydrochloric acid, at which point a tan solid separates. This solid is recrystallized from methanol and then twice from an isopropanol-ether mixture to give 1-(2-isopropylaminopropyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole hydrochloride as tan crystals, m.p. 192°-194° C.
