Procedure

2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-5-(4-methylphenethyl)-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole was prepared from 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (200 mg, 1.07 mmol), 4-methylstyrene (1.41 mL, 10.7 mmol) and NaH (250 mg, 60% dispersion in oil, 6.25 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) at 200° C. for 16 h to obtain 7 mg of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-5-(4-methylphenethyl)-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole after purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3, TFA salt) δ (ppm): 7.45-7.40 (d, 2H), 7.25-7.16 (m, 2H), 7.1-6.9 (d, 2H), 6.8-6.7 (d, 2H), 4.7 (d, 1H), 4.4-4.3 (m, 1H), 4.20-4.03 (m, 2H), 3.55-3.40 (m, 1H), 3.22-3.10 (m, 1H), 3.09-2.90 (m, 2H), 2.83 (s, 3H), 2.65 (m, 1H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 2.2 (m, 1H).
