反応手順

Methyl (3RS)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylate (2.30 g) is dissolved in methanol (50 ml) and thereto are added triethylamine (1.21 g) and carbon disulfide (920 mg). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes and thereto is added dropwise methyl iodide (1.70 g). The mixture is stirred for 4 hours and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the mixture is washed with water, dried and distilled to remove the solvent. The residue is recrystallized from ether-n-hexane to give the title compound (2.10 g, 65.6%) as colorless needles, m.p. 132°-134° C.
