Reaction Steps

A 100-mL three-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser, magnetic stirrer and nitrogen inlet was charged with 3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indol-1(2H)-one 101k (720 mg, 3.78 mmol), 2,6-dibromobenzyl acetate 104g (2.33 g, 7.57 mmol), cesium carbonate (2.47 g, 7.57 mmol), N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine (333 mg, 3.78 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (31 mL). After bubbling nitrogen through the resulting suspension for 30 min, copper iodide (360 mg, 1.89 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated at 105° C. (oil bath temperature) for 3 days. After this time, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL) and water (40 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford a 31% yield (490 mg) of 2-bromo-6-(1-oxo-3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indol-2(1H)-yl)benzyl acetate 109a.
