反応手順

To a solution of 8-Isopropyl-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.2 g. 0.87 mmol) in N-methyl 2-pyrolidone (1.0 mL) was added powdered potassium hydroxide (0.5 g, 8.7 mmol) and allowed to stir for 10 min at RT. 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyrazine (0.25 g, 2.1 mmol) was added and stirred for further 5 h. at 60 deg C. After completion (TLC), reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The crude was purified through column chromatography (6% MeOH:DCM in silica 100-200 mesh, Diameter of column 2.5 cm, Height of silica—approx. 5 inch) then further purified through preparative TLC to provide the desired compound as yellow solid (0.05 g, 16% yield). 8-Isopropyl-2-methyl-5-[2-(5-methyl-pyrazin-2-yl)-ethyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.05 g, 0.143 mmol) was dissolved in THF (2.0 mL). A solution of oxalic acid dihydrate (0.018 g, 0.143 mmol) in THF (1.0 mL) was added and stirred for 30 min at RT, Precipitate obtained was filtered and dried to give oxalate salt as off white solid (0.02 g, 32% yield).
