Participants

Procedure

A mixture of 0.6 g (0.00289 mol) of 5,5a, 6,10b-tetrahydroindeno[2,1-b]indole, 0.9 g (0.00723 mol) of K2CO3 and 1.03 g (0.00723 mol) of methyl iodide in 10 ml of acetonitrile was stirred for over the night at room temperature. The resulting mixture was filtered and evaporated. The resulting residue was dissolved in ether and then washed twice with water. Drying (Na2SO4) and evaporation gave 0.25 g (39%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ, 2.78 (3H, s), 3.2 (2H, d), 4.3 (1H, m) 4.66 (1H, d), 6.37 (1H, d), 6.68(1H, t), 7.06 (1H, t), 7.13-7.18 (2H, m),7.22-7.26 (1H, m) 7.3-7.37 (2H, m).
