Reaction Steps

6-chloro-2-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (100 mg, 0.45 mmol), was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide. CuI (9 mg, 0.045 mmol), L-proline (11 mg, 0.091 mmol), and K3PO4 (194 mg, 0.91 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for 10 min at room temperature, followed by drop-wise addition of tert-butyl 4-(2-chloroacetyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (143 mg, 0.54 mmol) and stirred at 90° C. for 12 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, N,N-dimethylformamide was evaporated under reduced pressure and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude compound was purified by Column chromatography to give Boc-protected compound (0.150 mg). The compound was dissolved in HCl in ethanol (4 mL). The ethanol was evaporated to obtain 2-(6-chloro-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-9(2H)-yl)-1-(piperazin-1-yl)ethanone as HCl salt (80 mg). 1 H NMR (CD3OD): 7.52 (s, 1H), 7.24 (d, 1H), 7.15 (dd, 1H), 5.19-5.23 (m, 2H), 4.71-4.79 (m, 2H), 4.25-4.30 (m, 2H), 3.85-4.00 (m, 4H), 3.70-3.79 (m, 2H), 3.52 (s, 3H), 3.15-3.23 (m, 4H).
