Reaction Steps

Preparation of the title compound was carried out according to General Method 8. 4-Chlorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (2 g, 11 mmol), 4-(2-bromoethyl)morpholine (2.1 g, 11 mmol), triethyl amine (4.6 ml, 33 mmol) and N-methyl-4-piperidone hydrochloride (1.6 g, 11 mmol) were combined in ethanol (20 ml) to obtain 180 mg of -chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-methyl-5-(2-morpholinoethyl)-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole after purification on silica gel (230-400 mesh) chromatography eluting with acetone-hexane gradient. The free base was converted into its dioxalate salt by treatment of oxalic acid (2 equiv) in anhydrous THF.
