Reaction Steps

A 350-mL sealed tube equipped with a magnetic stirring bar was charged with 3,4,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-a]indol-1-one 101k (5.0 g, 0.026 mol), 2,6-dibromobenzyl acetate 104g (16.2 g, 0.052 mol) N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine (2.6 mL, 0.026 mol), Cs2CO3 (17.0 g, 0.052 mol), and 1,4-dioxane (80 mL). After a stream of nitrogen was passed through the resulting suspension for 30 min., CuI (2.5 g, 0.013 mol) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 16 h. Then the mixture was cooled to room temperature, partitioned between EtOAc (50 mL) and water (50 mL), and the organic phase was extracted with EtOAc (30 mL×3). The combined organic phases were washed with water (20 mL×2) and brine (20 mL×1), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (dichloromethane:MeOH, 97:3) to give 35% yield (4.5 g) of 113a as white solids.
