Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (103 mg, 0.510 mmol), tert-butyl 7-bromo-9-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-2(9H)-carboxylate (223 mg, 0.612 mmol), CuI (116 mg, 0.612 mmol), 8-hydroxyquinoline (15 mg, 0.10 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (183 mg, 0.561 mmol) in DMSO (10 mL) was degassed under reduced pressure for 45 min. The suspension was put under Ar and stirred at 135° C. overnight. The suspension was cooled, 9:0.9:0.1 CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH was added, and the resulting suspension was stirred at 25° C. for 30 min. The suspension was passed through a plug of silica gel, and the filtrate was washed with brine. The resulting solution was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography (silica gel, (1:1 EtOAc/hexanes)/(9:0.9:0.1 CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH), 100:0 to 0:100) afforded the title compound (98 mg, 40%) as a yellow powder: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.64-7.53 (m, 3H), 7.46 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.36 (br s, 1H), 7.08 (dd, J=8.1, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.01 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 6.87 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.51 (dd, J=7.2, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 4.68-4.60 (m, 2H), 3.88 (s, 3H), 3.82-3.73 (m, 2H), 3.65 (s, 3H), 2.85-2.78 (m, 2H), 1.52 (s, 9H).
