Procedure

A solution of 2-tert-butyl 8-methyl 3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole-2,8(5H)-dicarboxylate (17 in Scheme 1(i), 1.0 g, 3.0 mmol) in DMF (6.0 mL) was added to a cold solution (ice bath) of NaH (60%, 121 mg, 3.0 mmol) in DMF (3 mL). After stirring at 0° C. under N2 atmosphere for 30 min, iodomethane (210 μL, 471 mg, 3.3 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm up to room temperature overnight, cooled down to 0° C. and poured into saturated NH4Cl solution (20 mL). The resulting brown precipitate was filtered, dried and chromatographed (neat DCM→2% MeOH/DCM) to provide, upon trituration with ethyl ether, 2-tert-butyl 8-methyl 5-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole-2,8(5H)-dicarboxylate (18 in Scheme 1(i), 0.82 g, 79%). 1H NMR (CD3OD, 300 MHz) 8.13 (s, 1H), 7.82 (dd, J=8.8, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 4.64 (br s, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.84 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 3.69 (s, 3H), 2.86 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 1.52 (s, 9H) ppm; MS (ES) 345 (M+H).
