5-Fluoro-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-indole (1.16 g, 5.37 mmole) and 2-bromo-3-[(2S)-oxiranylmethoxy]pyridine (0.83 g, 3.6 mmole) were combined in DMSO (40 mL). This solution was heated at 75-80° C. under nitrogen for 5 hours. After completion, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between 250 mL each of ethyl acetate and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuum. The crude residue was column chromatographed on silica gel using first methylene chloride as eluant to remove impurities and then 3% MeOH/CH2Cl2 to elute the product, which was a yellow solid (0.90 g, 56%). The intermediate (0.90 g, 2.01 mmole) was then cyclized in toluene (40 mL) in the presence of palladium (II) acetate (0.02 g, 0.09 mmole), (S)-(−)-2,2′-bis(di-p-tolylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (0.085 g, 0.12 mmole), and potassium carbonate (0.33 g, 2.4 mmole). The heterogeneous mixture was heated to 100° C. for a period of 24 hours. After the mixture cooled to room temperature, the catalysts were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuum. The resulting crude brown oil was then column chromatographed on silica gel with 3% methanol in methylene chloride to give the desired product as a brown oil (0.23 g, 33%). The oil was crystallized from ethanol with the addition of a solution of oxalic acid (0.05 g) in hot ethanol to give 0.24 g of the (S)-enantiomer of the title compound as a white solid hemioxalate, m.p. 124° C.
