Reaction Steps

To a solution of 500 mg (1.31 mmol) (1RS,3SR)-6-Ethoxy-1-(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester in 25 ml 2-butanon are added 120 μl (1.31 mmol) bromoethyl isocyanate. The mixture is heated to reflux for 24 h. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The crude product is purified by column chromatography (silica gel; toluene, ethyl acetate 6:1). 260 mg (40%) of the title compound are obtained as a colorless solid. m.p.: 250-252° C., MS: m/z (MH+)=498.1/500.0
