Potassium Iodide → 6-(2-(4-(1H-Indol-3-yl)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-3,7-dimethyl-5H-thiazolo(3,2-a)pyrimidin-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.75 parts of 6-(2-chloroethyl)-3,7-dimethyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one, 3 parts of 3-(4-piperidinyl)-1H-indole, 10 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.1 parts of potassium iodide and 200 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone was stirred and refluxed for 20 hours using a water-separator. The reaction mixture was filtered hot over Hyflo and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from ethanol, yielding 3.25 parts of 6-[2-[4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-3,7-dimethyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one; mp. 274.7° C. (compound 11).
