A solution of 2-[(2,3-epoxy)propoxy]benzonitrile (18.3 g., 0.10 mole) and 2-(3-indolyl)-1,1-dimethylethylamine (15.2 g., 0.08 mole), in 500 ml. of abs. EtOH was stirred at reflux overnight. After concentration of the reaction mixture to approximately 200 ml. and seeding, crude product began to precipitate. The mixture was then cooled and the precipitate separated by filtration to give 24.8 g. of the free base form of the product, white solid, m.p. 120°-123°. The crude solid was dissolved in 400 ml. of boiling MeOH, and the solution was cooled with stirring, as a by-product 1,1'-[[1,1-dimethyl-2-(1H-indol-3yl)ethyl]imino]bis[3-(2-cyanophenoxy)-2-propanol] precipitated. The by-product was collected on a filter and air dried to give 2.2 g., m.p. 180°-187°. The MeOH filtrate was then taken to dryness. The residual solid was dissolved in 200 ml. of i-PrOH and acidified with ethanolic HCl. Seeding followed by 18 hours standing in the cold afforded the product as the crystalline hydrochloride. Filtration of the mixture gave 19.8 g., of solid, m.p. 179°-183°. One recrystallization from abs. EtOH gave 15.5 g. (48%) of white solid, m.p. 185°-187°. TLC on silica gel (9CH2Cl2, 10 MeOH, 1NH4OH) showed a single spot (Rf =0.5, u.v.).
