Maleic Acid → 4-[2-[4-(1H-indole-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2(1H)-quinolinone maleate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[2-[4-(1H-indole-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2(1H)-quinolinone (III-2) (500 mg, 1.35 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (25 ml) was refluxed until solids were dissolved. Under the same conditions, maleic acid (172.9 mg, 1.49 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added thereto and then the solvent was distilled off from the reaction mixture. The residue was crystallized with acetone and then recrystallized from acetone-methanol to give the desired product (III'-2-b) (404 mg) as pale yellow crystals (138°-141 ° C., yield 61.4%)
