Procedure

1-(7-Chloro-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5(2H)-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-2-ol (1 g, 2.8 mmol) in SOCl2 (10 mL) was stirred RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (6 mL), KOH (1.5 g, 28 mmol) was added and heated at 100° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and concentrated and purified by silica gel chromatography, 100-200 mesh (eluent in 5% MeOH-DCM). 1H NMR (CD3OD, HCl salt) δ (ppm): 8.90 (d, 2H), 8.40 (d, 2H), 7.80 (s, 1H), 7.55 (d, 1H), 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.22 (d, 1H), 4.80 (d, 1H), 4.40 (d, 1H), 3.90 (m, 1H), 3.60 (m, 2H), 3.25 (m, 1H), 3.18 (s, 3H), 2.20 (s, 3H).
