Plattner et al. and Harbert et al. also describe the earliest synthesis of flutroline: p-fluorophenylhydrazine is condensed with N-carbethoxy-4-piperidone to form 8-fluoro-2-carbethoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole. By the Ullman reaction the latter is arylated to form the 5-(p-fluorophenyl) derivative and then hydrolyzed under vigorous basic conditions to yield 8-fluoro-5-(p-fluorophenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (an intermediate common to the present processes). The earlier synthesis of flutroline is completed by 2-alkylation with 3-(p-fluorobenzoyl)propyl chloride and reduction of the ketone to an alcohol group with sodium borohydride.
