Reaction Steps

1-acetyl-2-(4-ethyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (0.0035 mol) and HCl, 6N (50 ml) were combined under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated immediately and the heating was continued for 3.5 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, then extracted with diethylether (2×75 ml), cooled to 0° C., alkalized (with cooled 3 N NaOH), then extracted with chloroform (3×60 ml). The combined organic layers were dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 0.79 g of 2-(4-ethyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole (intermediate 15).
