Participants

Reaction Steps

In toluene (60 ml) are dissolved 8-methyl-2,3,4,4a,5,9b-hexahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (5.7 g), γ-bromobutyronitrile (4.5 g) and triethylamine (4.6 g), and the mixture is refluxed for 5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and distilled under reduced pressure to remove toluene. The resulting residue is treated with ethanolic hydrogen chloride in the same manner as described in Example 1 (1) to give the dihydrochloride of the titled compound (5.5 g), m.p. 160° - 165°C (recrystallized from aqueous ethanol).
