Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A flame-dried flask was charged with 0.103 g (0.28 mmol) of (7RS,9aSR)-7-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl-2-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-2,3,4,6,7,8,9,9a-octahydro-1H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazine (Example 50), anhydrous DMF (1 mL) and 12 mg (0.30 mmol) of sodium hydride (60% oil dispersion). The suspension was treated with 0.019 mL (0.31 mmol) of methyl iodide and the mixture was heated at 50° C. for 16 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, concentrated in vacuo, and diluted with methylene chloride (25 mL) and water (25 mL), and the layers were separated. The organic phase was dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and evaporated to a solid residue. The solid was washed with ethyl acetate (2×), the ethyl acetate was evaporated to give 50 mg of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 1.00–1.31 (m, 3H), 1.64–2.23 (m, 6H), 2.54–3.1 (m, 5H), 3.69 (s, 3H), 4.51–4.56 (m, 2H), 6.43 (dd, J=1 Hz, 1H), 6.83 (s, 1H), 6.93 (m, 1H), 7.15 (m, 2H), 8.27 (d, J=1 Hz, 2H). TLC Rf: 0.81 (90:10:1 methylene chloride:methanol:ammonium hydroxide).
