Water → 6-chloro-7-cyclopropylmethoxy-8-nitro-9H-beta-carboline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclopropylmethyl alcohol (0.921 ml, 11.4 mmol) was added to a stirring suspension of NaH (455 mg, 11.4 mmol) in DMF (20 ml) under an argon atmosphere. The resulting solution was allowed to stir at RT for 20 min. 6-chloro-7-fluoro-8-nitro-9H-β-carboline (500 mg, 1.9 mmol) was added to the stirring solution and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at RT. Upon addition of H2O, a brown solid precipitated out which was filtered to give the desired 6-chloro-7-cyclopropylmethyoxy-8-nitro-9H-β-carboline (510 mg, 85%).
