Procedure

A solution tert-butyl 7,10-dichloro-6-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole-3(2H)-carboxylate (3.0 g, 6.8 mmol) in dry THF (30 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Then, LiBH4 (0.74 g, 34 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm slowly to rt. Additional LiBH4 (0.30 g, 14 mmol) was added after 24 h. After another 7 h, the reaction was diluted with H2O (75 mL) followed by addition of 10% aqueous NaOH and extraction with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (Biotage, 40M, SIM) with heptane/EtOAc (1:1) followed by crystallization from EtOAc/heptane gave 1.8 g (65%) of a white solid: mp 156.0-158.5° C.; IR (diffuse reflectance) 1686, 1652, 1476, 1433, 1414, 1400, 1364, 1353, 1319, 1302, 1229, 1178, 1156, 1063, 972 cm−1; MS (EI) m/z 398 (M+), 398, 342, 270, 268, 263, 258, 256, 212, 57, 56; Anal.
