Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (2.3 g of 50% suspension in mineral oil, 0.05 mole) is washed with hexane and suspended in 25 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF). Thiopyrano [3,2-b]indol-4(5H)-one, 10.0 g (0.05 mole) in 130 ml of DMF is added and the mixture stirred for 3 hours. Methyl iodide (14.2 g, 0.1 mole) is added and the mixture stirred for 3 hours and then poured over ice. The white precipitate is filtered, dried and recrystallized from hexane to give 9.3 g of product, mp 113°-114° C.
