Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared according to General Method 2. 2-Ethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8-methyl-5-(4-methylphenethyl)-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole was prepared from 2-ethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8-methyl-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (See Example 6) (100 mg, 0.4 mmol), 4-methylstyrene (1 mL, 7.6 mmol) and NaH (100 mg, 60% dispersion in oil, 2.5 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) at 180° C. for 24 h to obtain 13 mg of 2-ethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-8-methyl-5-(4-methylphenethyl)-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole after purification.
