Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by following general procedure 5. To a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (61 mg, 0.254 mmol) in 5 mL of DMF, 9-chloro-3-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole (0.2 g, 0.852 mmol) was added and stirred at RT for 5 min. 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-methyloxirane (194 mg, 1.27 mmol) was added slowly dropwise and stirred at RT for 14 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC and LCMS. After completion of the reaction, water was added, extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, evaporated under reduced pressure and purified by reverse phase chromatography to afford 150 mg of (1-(9-chloro-3-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indol-6(1H)-yl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)propan-2-ol) as the TFA salt. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, TFA salt) δ (ppm): 7.40 (s, 1H), 7.30-7.18 (m, 3H), 7.0-6.80 (m, 3H), 4.40-4.25 (d, 2H), 4.25-4.15 (d, 2H), 3.40-3.20 (d, 2H), 3.20-3.00 (m, 4H), 2.90 (s, 3H), 1.50 (s, 3H).
