Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 14-cyclohexyl-6-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolo[2,1-a][2,5]benzodiazocine-11-carboxylate (0.16 M, 1 eq, from Step 4) in MeOH and 1N NaOH (4 eq) was heated to 80° C. for 6 h. After cooling to RT, the MeOH was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting aqueous solution acidified with aqueous 3N HCl until pH 1-2 resulting in formation of a pale yellow precipitate. This was filtered off and dried on the filter overnight to afford the crude hydrochloride salt of the product as a yellow solid. Purification was by RP-HPLC (stationary phase: column Waters XTERRA prep. MS C18, 5 μm, 30×100 mm. Mobile phase: MeCN/H2O buffered with 0.1% TFA). Fractions containing the pure compound were combined and freeze dried (2×) in the presence of 3N aqueous HCl to afford the bis-HCl salt of the title compound as a white powder (65% over steps 3, 4 and 5).
