Reaction Steps

2-Bromopropane (1.5 mL, 16 mmol) was added to a mixture of 4-(benzyloxy)-1-(9-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-7-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one hydrochloride (138 mg, 0.327 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (1.2 g, 3.7 mmol) in acetonitrile (25 mL). The mixture was stirred at 55° C. for 72 h. The resulting mixture was cooled, and the precipitate was filtered off. The mother liquor was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by preparatory TLC (silica gel, 10:1:0.1 dichloromethane/methanol/concentrated ammonium hydroxide) to afford 4-(benzyloxy)-1-(2-isopropyl-9-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-7-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one. The free base was converted to the HCl salt using 1.25 M HCl in methanol to provide the title compound (26 mg, 19%) as a off white solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.50 (s, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=4.5 Hz, 2H), 7.52-7.38 (m, 6H), 7.01 (dd, J=4.5, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 6.11 (dd, J=4.5, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 5.97 (s, 1H), 5.16 (s, 2H), 4.60-4.53 (m, 2H), 3.78-3.70 (m, 2H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 3.40-3.28 (m, 1H), 3.18-2.98 (m, 2H), 1.44-1.39 (m, 6H); ESI MS m/z 428 [M+H]+; HPLC (Method A) 95.7% (AUC), tR=15.1 min.
