Procedure

To a solution of tert-butyl 9,10-dichloro-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (0.10 g, 0.28 mmol) in DMF (2 mL), sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 17 mg, 0.42 mmol) was added. After 15 min, ethyl bromoacetate(0.060 mL, 0.56 mmol) was added. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl after 2.5 h and extracted with EtOAc (3×15 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (Biotage, 40S) with heptane/EtOAc (3:1) to give 85 mg (70%) of a white solid: mp 136.5-138.0° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.19 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 6.99 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 4.74 (s, 2H), 4.21 (dd, J=7.1, 7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.75 (m, 4H), 3.53 (m, 2H), 2.93 (m, 2H), 1.48 (s, 9H), 1.26 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H); IR (diffuse reflectance) 2985, 2976, 1737, 1685, 1466, 1450, 1414, 1367, 1344, 1249, 1213, 1169, 1156, 1115, 926 cm−1; MS (EI) m/z 440 (M+), 307, 305, 301, 299, 298, 272, 225, 189, 58, 56; Anal. Calcd for C21H26Cl2N2O4: C, 57.15; H, 5.94; N, 6.35, found: C, 57.16; H, 5.98; N, 6.27.
