Trimethylsilyl iodide → 4-(3-amino-2-methylphenyl)-7-bromo-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 3-(7-bromo-1-carbamoyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-4-yl)-2-methylphenylcarbamate (0.65 g, crude from the previous step) in acetonitrile (80 mL) at 0° C. was added iodotrimethylsilane (0.67 mL, 4.91 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hr, and then concentrated under vacuum. To the residue was added diethylamine (2 mL) and ethyl acetate (150 ml). The mixture was washed with water (2×40 mL) and brine (40 mL), and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The desired product (0.243 g, 52.6% yield over two steps) was isolated as a beige solid by ISCO (40 g silica gel, solid loading, 40-70% ethyl acetate/hexane).
