Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-8-yl) propan-2-ol (942 mg, 3.86 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added sodium hydride (60%, 464 mg, 11.58 mmol). After stirring for 10 min, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of 4-(oxiran-2-yl)pyridine (700 mg, 5.8 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirring was continued for 16 h. The progress of reaction was monitored by LCMS and NMR. The reaction mixture was quenched with ice water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was crystallized from ether to yield 2-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5-(2-hydroxy-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethyl)-2-methyl-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-8-yl)propan-2-ol (500 mg) as yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, freebase) δ (ppm): 8.37 (d, 2H), 7.36 (s, 1H), 7.20 (d, 1H), 7.11 (d, 2H), 7.04 (d, 1H), 4.82 (t, 1H), 4.05 (d, 2H), 3.49 (d, 1H), 3.4 (d, 1H), 2.9 (m, 1H), 2.85 (m, 1H), 2.64 (m, 2H), 2.40 (s, 3H), 1.65 (s, 6H). Separation by chiral HPLC provided enantiomers 23a and 23b. Optical rotations: Compound No. 23a, (−) 52.54 (c 0.55, Chloroform, 95.4% HPLC purity); Compound No. 23b, (+) 29.08 (c 0.56, Chloroform, 98.94% HPLC purity).
