Reaction Steps

Ethyl 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-b]indole-8-carboxylate (0.62 g, 2.68 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (10 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Sodium hydride (60% suspension in mineral oil, 0.16 g, 6.7 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for 45 min prior to addition of ethyl iodide (0.50 g, 3.22 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 15 hours, then quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was then removed and the crude was redissolved in acetonitrile and then washed with hexane to remove the mineral oil. The acetonitrile layer was evaporated to afford 0.5 g of title compound.
