Reaction Steps

Lawesson's reagent (0.5 nimol) is added portionwise, at 110° C., to a solution of 9-metlioxy-1-ethyl-2,3,4,6,7,12-hexahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinoIizin-4-one (300 mg, 1.01 mmol) in anhydrous toluene (15 mL). After refluxing for 30 min. and evaporation of the toluene, the product is chromatographed on silica gel (99/1 chloroform/methanol eluent) and 9-methoxy-1-ethyl-2,3,4,6,7,12-hexahydroindolo[2,3-alquinolizine-4-thione is thus recovered (60% yield).
