Sodium Iodide → HCID 18999734, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.5 g of 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine, 0.74 g of 3-chloropropanol, 2.32 g of potassium carbonate and 0.10 g of sodium iodide were added to 30 ml of ethanol, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 20 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was filtered, and then the solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was then subjected to column chromatography through silica gel, and the desired compound was obtained as crystals from the fractions eluted with 5% by volume ethanol in chloroform; it was then recrystallized from ethyl acetate, to afford 1.28 g (69% yield) of the title compound, melting at 127°-128° C.
