Abstract
xy-4-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]-propyl]-1H-indole dihydrochloride (1) facilitates 5-HT neurotransmission and was an antidepressant drug can didate. The development of a safe, rugged process for the large-scale, chromatography-free preparation of this compound is described, The ma in areas of optimization included a Fischer indole synthesis, preparat ion and chlorination of a monohydroxypyrimidine, and coupling of the r esultant fragments to prepare the drug substance.
