Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(1-(2-aminoethyl)-6-(methylthio)-1H-indol-2-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-one (200 mg, 0.724 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was added Et3N (219.3 mg, 2.172 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 h. NaBH4 (82.53 mg, 2.172 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated, treated with water (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by preparative TLC on silica gel eluted with (petroleum ether/EtOAc 1:1) to afford 1-isopropyl-7-(methylthio)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indole (80 mg, 42.46% yield, store at 0° C.) as a colorless oil.
