A solution is prepared from 500 mg (1.6 mmol) of 6-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester in 50 ml of isopropanol, combined with 500 mg (3.6 mmol) of anhydrous, pulverized potassium carbonate, and stirred under argon for 10 minutes. Then 0.25 ml (1.99 mmol) of 2-chlorobenzyl chloride is added and the mixture refluxed for 2 hours. After suctioning off from the potassium carbonate, the filtrate is concentrated and separated over silica gel with methylene chloride:acetone=3:1 as the eluent, thus producing 172 mg of 6-(2-chlorobenzyloxy)-4-methoxymethyl-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester, mp 135°-141° C.
