Reaction Steps

To a de-aerated solution of 2,8-dimethyl-5-naphthalen-2-ylethynyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (50 mg, 0.14 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL), palladium hydroxide (25 mg, 50% w/w) and ammonium formate (45 mg, 0.71 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 1 h. The progress of reaction was monitored by TLC and LCMS. The reaction mass was filtered through Celite and washed the residue with MeOH (10 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude material, which was purified by reverse phase HPLC to yield 2,8-dimethyl-5-[2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-ethyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole. 1H NMR (CD3OD, TFA salt) δ (ppm): 7.26 (d, 1H), 7.22 (d, 1H), 7.02 (d, 1H), 6.9 (d, 1H), 6.63 (d, 1H), 6.58 (s, 1H), 4.6 (d, 1H), 4.4 (m, 1H), 4.2 (t, 2H), 3.62 (m, 1H), 3.02 (m, 1H), 2.9 (m, 4H), 3.0 (s, 3H), 2.7 (bs, 2H), 2.6 (bs, 2H), 2.4 (s, 3H), 1.8 (bs, 4H).
