Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (0.014 g, 0.00054 mol) in dry DMF (3 mL), 8-Chloro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.1 g, 0.00045 mol) was added at ice cold temp and stirred for 2 h at room temperature. Reaction mix was cooled to −20° C. and 5-(3-Bromo-propyl)-2-trifluoromethyl-pyridine (0.183 g, 0.00068 mol) was added, stirred for 1 h at 15° C. Reaction was monitor by TLC. After completion (TLC), reaction mix was cooled to 0° C. and water (10 mL) was added, extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The crude was purified through column chromatography (4% Methanol:DCM in silica 100-200 mesh, Diameter of column—2.5 cm, Height of silica—approx. 5 inch) to provide desired compound as brown oil (0.06 g, 32% yield). 8-Chloro-2-methyl-5-[3-(6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-propyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.06 g, 0.000147 mol) was dissolved in THF (1.0 mL), A solution of oxalic acid dihydrate (0.016 g, 0.000126 mol) in THF (1.0 mL) was added and stirred for 30 min at RT. The precipitate was filtered and dried to give oxalate salt as off white solid (0.050 g, 68% yield).
