Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a 100 mL screw-cap bottle, potassium phosphate tribasic (1.75 g, 8.25 mmol) was taken. 4-(2-Bromo-1-methyl-vinyl)-pyridine (1.1 g, 5.55 mmol) was added under nitrogen at RT. DMF (15 mL) was added and nitrogen was purged into it for 1-2 min. L-proline, (140 mg, 1.21 mmol), copper Iodide (235 mg, 1.21 mmol), and 2-allyl-8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (1 g, 4.06 mmol) were added one by one with nitrogen purging. The screw-cap bottle was closed tightly and the contents heated to 120° C. for 12 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was cooled at RT. DMF was evaporated under vacuum, residue diluted with water (100 mL) and the compound extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (200 mL×3), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to obtain the crude, which was subjected to chromatography (100-200 mesh silica gel and 3% MeOH in DCM as eluent) and recrystallized in ether:hexane (10:90 ratio) to obtain 380 mg of 2-Allyl-8-chloro-5-(2-pyridin-4-yl-propenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole. 1H NMR (CD3OD, HCl salt) δ (ppm): 8.84 (d, 2H), 8.38 (d, 2H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.60 (s, 1H), 7.24 (s, 2H), 6.10 (m, 1H), 5.70 (m, 2H), 4.75 (m, 2H), 4.40 (m, 1H), 4.05 (d, 2H), 4.0 (m, 1H), 3.60 (m, 1H), 3.25 (m, 1H), 2.18 (s, 3H).
