Participants

Reaction Steps

3-{1-[2-(1-benzofuran-3-yl)ethyl]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl}-1H-indole (342 mg, 1 mmol) (obtained from example 1, step 6) in dry THF (50 ml) was slowly added to a stirred suspension of hexane and washed with 60% sodium hydride (44 mg) at 0° C. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min and methyl iodide (213 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hrs and quenched carefully with ice cold water. The reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform; washed well with water; dried over anhydrous MgSO4; filtered and concentrated. The residue obtained was purified by silica-gel column chromatography by eluting it with 50% ethyl acetate:hexane. Light green semi-solid. Yield: 280 mg (78%); 357 (M+H); 1H NMR: δ□7.94 (d, 1H), 7.6 9 (d, 1H), 7.5–7.0 (m, 8H), 6.2 (bs, 1H), 3.8 (s, 3H), 3.49 (bs, 2H), 3.0 (m, 2H), 2.85 (m, 4H), 2.6 (bs, 2H).
