Reaction Steps

Methyl 13-cyclohexyl-6-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-amino}-6,7-dihydro-5H-indolo[2,1-a][2]benzazepine-10-carboxylate (prepared as in Example 5, Step 4) was dissolved in DCM (0.07 M) and pH adjusted to 6 with AcOH; 37% aq HCHO and, after half an hour NaCNBH3 (3 eq), were added and the mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1N NaOH and brine, dried and evaporated affording methyl 13-cyclohexyl-6-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl][(methyl) amino]}-6,7-dihydro-5H-indolo[2,1-a][2]benzazepine-10-carboxylate. Hydrolysis of the foregoing methyl ester was done with 1M aqueous KOH (6 eq) in dioxane (0.IM) at 60 ° C.; the reaction was complete in 2 h, and the title compound was obtained in 20% yield after RP-HPLC purification and lyophilisation (Conditions: Column: Waters X-TERRA MS C18, 10 micron, 19×150 mm; Gradient: A: H2O+0.1% TFA; B: MeCN+0.1% TFA; 75% A isocratic for 3 min, linear to 20% A in 12 min).
