Reaction Steps

A suspension of Pd(OAc)2 (0.2 g, 0.8 mmol), P(o-tolyl)3 (0.25 g, 0.8 mmol), 2-(6-bromo-1-ethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-8-isopropylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)ethanol (1.5 g, 4.1 mmol), triethylamine (1.5 ml, 11 mmol), and ethyl acrylate (1.8 ml, 16 mmol) in acetonitrile (45 ml) and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 100° C. for 24 hr. The mixture was allowed to cool, quenched with water, worked-up with dichloromethane, and washed with brine. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was chromatographed on silica hexane/EtOAc (6:4) to give the product (0.9 g, 56%). %). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.07 (br, NH), 7.83 (d, 1H), 7.53 (d, 1H), 7.28 (d, 1H), 6.43 (d, 1H), 4.27 (m, 2H), 4.04 (m, 2H), 3.73 (m, 2H), 3.19 (m, 1H), 2.84 (m, 1H), 2.77 (d, 1H), 2.52 (br, 1H), 2.20 (m, 1H), 2.09 (m, 1H), 1.92 (m, 1H), 1.38 (d, 6H), 1.35 (t, 3H), 0.95 (t, 3H); ESI (+) MS m/e=386 (MH+), ESI (−) MS m/e=384 (MH−).
