Procedure

To a solution of tert-butyl 9,10-dichloro-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (0.40 g, 1.1 mmol) in DMF (6 mL), sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 68 mg, 1.7 mmol) was added. After 25 min, 1-bromo-3-phenyl propane (0.34 mL, 2.3 mmol) was added. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl after 3 h and extracted with EtOAc (3×15 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (Biotage, 40M) with heptane/EtOAc (17:3) to give 0.33 g (62%) of a yellow solid: mp 113.5-115.5° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.14 (m, 3H), 6.93 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 4.02 (m, 2H), 3.70 (m, 4H), 3. 50 (m, 2H), 2.93 (m, 2H), 2.65 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 1.99 (m, 2H), 1.48 (s, 9H); IR (diffuse reflectance) 2976, 1686, 1447, 1416, 1366, 1360, 1247, 1180, 1168, 1152, 1108, 930, 788, 747, 701 cm−1; MS (FAB) m/z 473 (M+H+), 475, 474, 473, 472, 419, 418, 417, 416, 91, 57; HRMS (FAB) calcd for C26H30Cl2N2O2+H 473.1762, found 473.1759; Anal. Calcd for C26H30Cl2N2O2: C, 65.96; H, 6.39; N, 5.92, found: C, 66.00; H, 6.41; N, 5.85.
