tert-Butyl 1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (0.111 g, 0.388 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) and this solution was added to a mixture of 50% aqueous KOH (5 mL) and tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (0.100 g). The biphasic mixture was stirred vigorously at rt. 2-Chloroethyl phenyl sulfone (0.318 g, 1.55 mmol) was added, then the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers was concentrated. The crude product was chromatographed (Biotage 40s SiO2 column, eluted with a 10% to 40% EtOAc in hexane gradient) to give tert-butyl 6-[2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethyl]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (0.154 g) in 87% as a clear solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.48, 2.87-2.93, 3.38-3.42, 3.63, 3.69, 4.52, 7.04-7.17, 7.42, 7.53-7.59, 7.63-7.70, 7.88.
