Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (39 mg, 10.1 mmol) and TsOH (10 mg) and ethylene glycol (0.2 mL) in toluene (10 mL) was heated to reflux overnight under nitrogen. After cooling, the reaction was diluted with DCM. It was then washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and water and dried over MgSO4. Evaporation of solvent gave a crude product, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluted with MeOH-DCM (2:98) to give the title compound (7.5 mg); 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 9.68 (1H, s), 8.24 (1H, d), 7.08 (2H, m), 7.57 (1H, s), 7.41 (2H, m), 7.12 (2H, m), 4.77 (2H, m), 4.55 (2H, m), 4.46 (2H, q), 1.46 (3H, t). MS (ES): 437 (MH+).
