Procedure

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 68 mg, 1.7 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 9,10-dichloro-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (0.40 g, 1.1 mmol) in DMF (6 mL). After 25 min, 4-fluorophenoxy ethyl bromide (0.34 mL, 2.3 mmol) was added. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl after 22 h and extracted with A 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, 40M) with heptane/EtOAc (17:3) to give 0.46 g (82%) of a white solid: mp 163.5-165.5° C.; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.16 (m, 2H), 6.92 (m, 2H), 6.70 (m, 2H), 4.44 (m, 2H), 4.12 (m, 2H), 3.73 (m, 4H), 3.51 (m, 2H), 3.12 (m, 2H), 1.48 (s, 9H); IR (diffuse reflectance) 1675, 1507, 1449, 1405, 1365, 1354, 1298, 1249, 1242, 1221, 1209, 1170, 1120, 835, 828 cm−1; MS (FAB) m/z 493 (M+H+), 494, 493, 492, 439, 438, 437, 436, 435, 57, 42; HRMS (EI) calcd for C25H27Cl2FN2O3 492.1383, found 492.1385; Anal. Calcd for C25H27Cl2FN2O3: C, 60.86; H, 5.51; N, 5.68, found: C, 60.93; H, 5.60; N, 5.69.
