Reaction Steps

1-(2-Methoxy-5,6,6a,7,10,11-hexahydro-4bH-benzo[4,5]indeno[1,7a-c]pyrrol-8-yl)-ethanone (Example 5A) (55.0 mg, 0.19 mmol) was dissolved in ethanethiol (4 mL). Aluminum chloride powder (128 mg, 0.96 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, quenched with NaHCO3 (satd.aq., 4 mL), and extracted with CH2Cl2 (5 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using 5% methanol in dichloromethane, providing 46.2 mg (88.3%) of the title compound.
