Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indole-7-carboxylic acid (50 mg, 0.21 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) are added N-hydroxybenzotriazole (39 mg, 0.29 mmol) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (61 mg, 0.32 mmol). After stirring for 10 min, 5-methyl-3-aminoisoxazole (38 mg, 0.39 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.07 mL, 0.42 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2.6 mg, 0.02 mmol) are added. The reaction mixture is heated at 50° C. for 15 h and simultaneously a stream of N2 is blown over the reaction mixture to remove DMF. The residue is cooled to room temperature and EtOAc (4 mL) and water (2 mL) are added. The resulting white solid is collected by filtration to afford the title compound (32 mg, 48%). LCMS (ESMS): m/z 325.61 (M+H+).
