Procedure
2-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-2,8-dimethylpyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)-1-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethanol (1 g, 2.98 mmol, 1 eq) was refluxed with 25% sulfuric acid (7 mL) for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. with an ice-water bath. KOH (15% aq. solution) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture until pH 9-10 was achieved. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (10 mL) followed by brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (100-200 mesh) using a gradient of MeOH-EtOAc (0-10%). 1H NMR (CD3OD, TFA salt) δ (ppm): 8.8 (s, 1H), 8.55 (d, 1H), 7.95 (d, 1H), 7.75 (m, 2H), 7.35 (s, 1H), 7.28 (d, 1H), 7.0 (d, 1H), 4.8 (bs, 1H), 4.4 (bs, 1H), 3.9 (bs, 1H), 3.6 (bs, 1H), 3.4 (t, 2H), 3.15 (s, 3H), 2.75 (s, 3H), 2.45 (s, 3H).
