Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution of 8-chloro-2-methyl-5-((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (8.0 g, 0.02 mol) in THF (100 mL) was added tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution (1.0M in THF, 40 mL, 0.04 mol) at 0° C. over 15 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C., after completion of reaction (monitored by TLC), the mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduce pressure to obtain product as a brown colored oil (7.0 g).
