Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.26 g of 3-(4-chloro-2-thiabutyl)indole [or 2.70 g of 3-(4-bromo-2-thiabutyl)indole which may be obtained by reaction of gramine with 2-mercaptoethanol to give 3-(4-hydroxy-2-thiabutyl)indole and subsequent reaction with SOCl2 or PBr3 ] and 1.6 g of 4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine in 10 ml of acetonitrile is stirred at 20° C. for 12 hours, worked up as usual and 3-[4-(4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridyl)-2-thiabutyl]indole ("P") of m.p. 109° is obtained.
