Reaction Steps

1-(8-Fluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-methylpyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-2-ol (1 g, 2.9 mmol) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (10 mL) and the solution was stirred for 2 h. Excess thionyl chloride was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (6 mL) and the solution was stirred for 5 min. at RT. Powdered KOH (1.7 g, 31 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, diluted with ice water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 5% MeOH-DCM. 1HNMR (CD3OD, HCl salt) δ (ppm): 8.85 (d, 2H), 8.40 (d, 2H), 7.80 (s, 1H), 7.30 (m, 2H), 7.05 (m, 1H), 4.75 (d, 1H), 4.40 (d, 1H), 3.90 (m, 1H), 3.60 (m, 1H), 3.30 (m, 2H), 3.18 (s, 3H), 2.20 (s, 3H).
