Procedure

6-Chloro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (1 g, 4.5 mmol) was dissolved in 15 mL DMF and stirred for 5 min at RT. Sodium hydride (540 mg, 13.5 mmol) was added portionwise at RT under nitrogen. 3-(2-Methyl-oxiranyl)-pyridine (800 mg, 5.9 mmol) was diluted in 5 mL DMF and added dropwise at the same temperature and stirred for 16 h at RT. The reaction was monitored by TLC & LCMS. After consumption of starting material, the reaction mixture was quenched with ice water (30 mL) and filtered. The residue was crystallized in EtOH (1 mL) and ether (40 mL) and purified by reverse phase chromatography to obtain 620 mg of 1-(6-chloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)-2-pyridin-3-yl-propan-2-ol. 1H NMR (CDCl3, freebase) δ (ppm): 8.77 (s, 1H), 8.5 (d, 1H), 8.45 (s, 1H), 7.71 b(s, 1H), 7.17 b(s, 1H), 7.06 (d, 1H), 6.97 (t, 1H), 5.12 b(s, 1H), 4.3 b (s, 1H), 3.78 (m, 1H), 3.62 (m, 1H), 3.14 (m, 1H), 2.63 (m, 2H), 2.57 (s, 3H), 2.5 b(s, 2H), 1.53 (s, 3H). Separation by chiral HPLC provided enantiomers 57a and 57b.
