Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-formyl-3-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-1H-indole (0.210 g, 0.90 mmol), and 4-fluoro-o-phenylenediamine (0.112 g, 0.90 mmol), in 15 mL of nitrobenzene was heated, with stirring, at 150-160° C. for 24 hours. An additional 0.5 equivalents of the diamine was added, and heating continued for an additional 24 hours. The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (dichloromethane:methanol 10:1.5) to give the title compound (0.075 g, 25%) as an amorphous tan solid. FDMS m/e=348 (M+). EA calculated for C21H21N4F.¾ H2O: C, 69.69; H, 6.27; N, 15.48. Found: C, 69.61; H, 6.19; N, 15.17.
