Procedure
Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.25 g, 6.3 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 7,8-dichloro-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (1.5 g, 4.2 mmol) in DMF (15 mL). After 20 min, ethyl bromoacetate (0.94 mL, 8.4 mmol) was added. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl after 2.5 h and extracted with EtOAc (3×20 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 (3:1) followed by crystallization from MeOH/EtOAc to give 1.5 g (81%) of a white solid: mp 132.5-135.0° C.; IR (diffuse reflectance) 2974, 1747, 1683, 1465, 1450, 1416, 1365, 1303, 1255, 1216, 1195, 1170, 1155, 1115, 803 cm−1; MS (EI) m/z 440 (M+), 442, 440, 386, 385, 384, 311, 300, 298, 57, 56; Anal. Calcd for C21H26Cl2N2O4: C, 57.15; H, 5.94; N, 6.35; found: C, 57.13; H, 5.98; N, 6.36.
