Procedure
2,6-Dimethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-β-carboline (500 mg, 2.5 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL DMF and stirred for 10 min at 0° C. Sodium hydride (300 mg, 7.5 mmol) was added portionwise at RT and stirred for 10 min. 4-(2-Methyl-oxiranyl)-pyridine (472 mg, 3.5 mmol) was added dropwise at the same temperature and stirred for 4 h at RT. The reaction was monitored by TLC & LCMS. After consumption of starting material, the reaction mixture was quenched with ice water and extracted with EtOAc (2×60 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with water (5×75 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated and the residue was crystallized in EtOH and hexane to obtain 175 mg of 1-(2,6-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolin-9-yl)-2-pyridin-4-yl-propan-2-ol. 1H NMR (CDCl3, Free base) δ (ppm): 8.58 (d, 2H), 7.40 (d, 2H), 7.25 (s, 1H), 7.16 (d, 1H), 6.92 (d, 1H), 4.18-4.0 (dd, 2H), 3.50-3.38 (dd, 2H), 2.80 (m, 2H), 2.70 (m, 2H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 2.42 (s, 3H), 1.58 (s, 3H). Separation by chiral HPLC provided enantiomers 19a and 19b. Optical rotations: Compound 19a, (+)22.35 (c 0.58, Chloroform, 98.36% HPLC purity); Compound 19b, (−)22.43 (c 0.55, Chloroform, 99.09% HPLC purity).
