Method for the synthesis of compound 6 [6-chloro-2-methyl-9-(2-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole]: (4-chlorophenyl)hydrazine is reacted with 4,4-dimethoxy-N-methylbutan-1-amine (Phytochemistry 1985, 24 (8), 1653-1656) to generate 2-(5-chloro-1H-indol-3-yl)-N-methylethanamine which upon treatment with formaldehyde, under standard Pictet Spingler reaction conditions (U.S. Pat. No. 2,642,438) gives 6-chloro-2-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole. The further reaction of this unsubstituted β-carboline with 2-(trifluoromethyl)-5-vinylpyridine gives the desired compound [6-chloro-2-methyl-9-(2-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole], compound 6. After the successful synthesis of the compound, purification can be achieved using standard normal phase or reverse phase methods.
