Participants

Reaction Steps

From a mixture of 29.3 g of diethyl 6,7-dihydro-9-hydroxypyrido[1,2-a]indole-7,8-dicarboxylate, 100 ml of pyridine and 30 ml of acetic anhydride, the solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 2M hydrochloric acid. The organic extract was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried and evaporated to give 33 g of diethyl 9-acetoxy-6,7-dihydropyrido[1,2-a]indole-7,8-dicarboxylate.
