Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 14-cyclohexyl-5-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolo[1,2-e][1,5]benzodiazocine-11-carboxylate in DCM (0.1 M), 5 eq of BBr3 (1 M sol. in DCM) were added. The solution was stirred at RT for 20 mins. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The crude was then purified by automated prep RP-HPLC (stationary phase: column Waters XTERRA prep. C18, 5 um, 19×100 mm. Mobile phase: MeCN/H2O buffered with 0.1% TFA). Fractions containing the pure compound were combined and freeze dried to afford the title compound (60% over two steps).
