Procedure

A solution of tert-butyl 9,10-dichloro-6-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (1.0 g, 2.3 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Then, LiBH4 (0.15 g, 6.8 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm slowly to rt. After 4 h, the reaction was diluted with H2O followed by addition of 10% aqueous NaOH and extraction with EtOAc (3×50 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, SIM) with heptane/EtOAc (1:1) followed by crystallization from EtOAc/heptane gave 0.19 g (21%) of a white solid: mp 174.5-176.0° C.; IR (diffuse reflectance) 3419, 1662, 1466, 1447, 1424, 1370, 1359, 1275, 1248, 1170, 1157, 1120, 1078, 933, 799 cm−1; MS (EI) m/z 398 (M+), 400, 398, 344, 342, 341, 268, 86, 84, 57, 51; Anal.
