Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(Benzyloxy)-1-(2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-7-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one dihydrochloride

Reaction Steps

4-(Benzyloxy)-1-(5-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-7-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (75 mg, 0.16 mmol), 2-iodoethanol (17 μL, 36 mg, 0.21 mmol) and triethylamine (105 μL, 0.82 mmol) were dissolved in MeCN (2 mL) and heated to reflux for 3 h. The mixture was then concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (4 g ISCO column eluting with methylene chloride and a methanol/ammonia mixture (10:1); gradient 100% methylene chloride to 85% methylene chloride over 30 min) providing the free base. This was converted to the HCl salt (2 N HCl/Et2O) providing the title compound (22 mg, 27%) as a yellow solid: mp 162-168° C.; 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.63 (dd, J=7.6, 2.0 Hz, 2H), 7.51-7.50 (m, 3H) 7.46-7.43 (m, 2H), 7.41-7.38 (m, 1H), 7.09 (dd, J=8.3, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 6.36 (dd, J=7.6, 2.7 Hz, 1H), 6.18 (d, J=2.7 Hz, 1H), 5.23 (s, 2H), 4.82 (d, 1H, partially masked by solvent), 4.520 (d, J=14.3 Hz, 1H), 4.06-4.02 (m, 3H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 3.70-3.68 (m, 1H), 3.55-3.51 (m, 2H), 3.33-3.31 (m, 2H, partially masked by solvent); ESI MS m/z 430 [M+H]+; HPLC (Method B) 95.1% (AUC), tR=12.4 min.
