Reaction Steps

6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1H-indole (500 mg, 2.68 mmol) was added to a solution of potassium hydroxide (1.55 g, 27.62 mmol) in methanol (20 mL). 1-methylpiperidin-4-one (610 mg, 5.39 mmol) was then added, and the resulting solution was stirred at 72° C. overnight. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was poured into water (40 mL). After filtration, the filter cake was washed with water (1×50 mL) and diethylether (1×50 mL), to afford 400 mg (47.6%) of 3-(1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1H-indole as a white solid.
