4-[(4-Chlorophenyl)methoxy]pyridin-2(1H)-one → tert-Butyl 7-(4-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)-5-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole-2(5H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound was prepared from tert-butyl 7-bromo-5-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole-2(5H)-carboxylate (200 mg, 0.548 mmol) and 4-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)pyridin-2(1H)-one (129 mg, 0.548 mmol) according to the procedure in Example 1 (step c). Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, hexanes/EtOAc, 100:0 to 80:20 to 50:50 to 25:75 then 0:100) provided the title compound (143 mg, 50%) as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.51 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.43-7.29 (m, 6H), 7.01 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 6.05-6.02 (m, 2H), 5.02 (s, 2H), 4.64 (br s, 2H), 3.84 (br s, 2H), 3.63 (s, 3H), 2.82 (br s, 2H), 1.50 (s, 9H).
