Guanidine Hydrochloride → HCID 178512388, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out in a manner similar to Example 1 except for using 1.00 g (3.30 mmol) of methyl 1-[2-(2-tetrahydropyranyl)oxyethyl]-2-indolecarboxylate, 3.15 g (33.0 mmol) of guanidine hydrochloride and a methanol solution of 1.78 g (33.0 mmol) of sodium methoxide. 1-[2-(2-Tetrahydropyranyl)oxyethyl]-2-indoloylguanidine was obtained in an amount of 0.85 g. Thereafter 0.69 g of the thus obtained compound was dissolved in hydrochloric acid/methanol. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 5.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and a solvent mixture of methanol and diethyl ether was added to the resulting residue. The precipitates formed were filtered and dried under reduced pressure to give 0.49 g (65%) of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-indoloylguanidine hydrochloride.
