Participants

Reaction Steps

Crude ethyl (±)-(3-chlorocarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-carbazol-9-yl)-acetate (5 mmol) is dissolved in dry CH2Cl2 and treated with (R)-1-phenyl-ethanol (0.55 g, 5.4 mmol), DIEA (1.94 g, 15 mmol) and DMAP (61 mg, 0.5 mmol). The resulting yellow solution is stirred at rt overnight, diluted with EtOAc and successively washed with 0.1 N HCl, saturated aqueous NaHCO3, H2O and brine. The organic layer is dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/EtOAc 5:1) to provide the subtitle compound as yellow oil (1.36 g) in 76% yield.
