Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(4-chloro-3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-2-yl)-3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indol-1(2H)-one 190f (900 mg, 2.7 mol) and triethylamine (900 mg, 9.0 mol) in dichloromethane (25 mL) was added dropwise acetyl chloride (600 mg, 6.0 mol) while stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with dichloromethane to afford 190g as white solid (950 mg, 94%). MS-ESI: [M+H]+374.
