To a dry flask were added 5.0 g (14.9 mmol) of 3-(2-aminoethyl)-2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, 1.98 g (13.5 mmol) of 4-(pyridin-4-yl)butyraldehyde (diluted with 0.5 mL of CDCl3), 8.12 g (67.7 mmol) of anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and a magnetic stirring bar. The flask was purged with nitrogen, cooled to −10° C., and stirred as 11.5 mL of dry CDCl3 was introduced gradually by syringe. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen for about 20 minutes. Next, the septum was removed, and 670 mg (17.6 mmol) of sodium borohyrdide was added rapidly. The septum was immediately replaced, and the system was again purged with nitrogen. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen at about −5° C. as 10 mL of dry methanol was added gradually by syringe. After a few minutes at this temperature, the reaction was removed from the cooling bath and partitioned between 80 mL of ethyl acetate and 100 mL of water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (elution with a gradient of 4-9% methanol in methylene chloride; repeated using 5-15% methanol in methylene chloride) to give the title compound (3.19 g). 500 MHz 1H NMR (CDCl3) was consistent with the assigned structure. Mass spectrum (PB-NH3/CI): m/e=470.4 (M+H). An additional 1.91 g of less pure material was also isolated.
