Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(2-(3-cyano-4-isopropoxybenzyloxy)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indol-9-yl)acetate (70 mg, 0.157 mmol) in dioxane (1 mL) was added 1 M LiOH aqueous solution (0.627 mL, 0.627 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 8 h, diluted with water, and acidified to pH 4 with 0.5 M aqueous citric acid solution. The light pink solid was collected to give the title compound (63 mg). LCMS m/z=419.4 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 1.40 (d, J=6.1 Hz, 6H), 1.55-1.65 (m, 1H), 1.98-2.12 (m, 1H), 2.15-2.25 (m, 2H), 2.65 (dd, J=16.1, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 3.01 (dd, J=16.1, 5.3 Hz, 1H), 3.45-3.54 (m, 1H), 3.85-3.92 (m, 1H), 4.12-4.18 (m, 1H), 4.61-4.68 (m, 1H), 5.01 (s, 2H), 6.22 (s, 1H), 6.86 (dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.17 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (dd, J=8.7, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H).
