Participants

Reaction Steps

10-bromo-2-hydroxy-5-(3-pyridylmethyl)-4H-pyrido [3,2,1-jk]carbazole-4-one (3.6 g) obtained in Example 2 was suspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (200 ml), and to the suspension was added potassium carbonate (2.5 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. i-propyl bromoacetate (1.4 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (300 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (eluent: methylene chloride containing 3% methanol), and the crude product was washed with ether and a small amount of methanol in succession, and recovered by filtration to obtain the title compound (2.6 g, 59%).
