Reaction Steps

1,1′-Azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide) (0.34 g, 2.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 10-benzoyl-5,6,8,9,10,11,12,12a-octahydro-4H,7aH-azepino[4′,5′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-ol (0.45 g, 1.3 mmol), phenol (0.18 g, 1.9 mmol), and tributylphosphine (0.49 mL, 2.0 mmol) in dry benzene (4.0 mL) at room temperature under N2. The reaction mixture immediately congealed but resumed stirring upon heating to 60° C. After 5 h, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove white precipitate. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel chromatography with heptanes/EtOAc (gradient 3:1 to 3:2) to give 0.26 g (47%) of the title compound as a beige foam. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.52-7.38, 7.32, 7.11-6.95, 5.68, 4.21-3.90, 3.69, 3.21, 2.91, 2.63, 2.34; IR (drift) 1630, 1596, 1492, 1458, 1421, 1359, 1327, 1291, 1267, 1226, 1192, 786, 750, 706, 694 cm−1; MS (ESI) 423.3 (M++H).
