Process Development of 5-Fluoro-3-[3-[4-(5-methoxy-4-pyrimidinyl)-1- piperazinyl]propyl]-1H-indole Dihydrochloride
1997
5-Fluoro-3-[3-[4-(5-methoxy-4-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]propyl]-1H-indole dihydrochloride (1) facilitates 5-HT neurotransmission and was an antidepressant drug candidate. The development of a safe, rugged process for the large-scale, chromatography-free preparation of this compound is described. The main areas of optimization included a Fischer indole synthesis, preparation and chlorination of a monohydroxypyrimidine, and coupling of the resultant fragments to prepare the drug substance.
