Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-methylaminomethyl-5-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,2-b]indole (3.2 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) is allowed to react with triethylamine and 2-t-butoxycarbonyloxyimino-2-phenylacetonitrile in the same manner as in Example 6(a) to give 4-(N-methyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-5-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,2-b]indole: Yield 87.0%. Mp. 111.5°-114° C. (decomp.) (b) The above product is treated in the same procedure as in Example 12 to give 4-(N-methyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-5-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,2-b]indole 1-oxide. Mp. 218°-220.5° C. (decomp.). The product is dissolved in methylene chloride (20 ml) and trifluoroacetic acid (4 ml) is added thereto. The mixture is kept at room temperature for 2 hours and then treated in the usual manner to give the title compound (1.13 g): Yield 89.7%.
