Procedure

A mixture of indole (1.01 g, 8.59 mmol), 4-piperidone monohydrate hydrochloride (1.99 g, 12.9 mmol) and KOH (1.74 g, 31 mmol) in CH3OH (9 mL) was heated to reflux for 21 h. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, H2O (14 mL) was added. The suspension was filtered, the solid was washed with (1:1) MeOH:H2O (20 mL) and air-dried to give 1.49 g (87%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
