40% Methanolic Triton B (2.18 mL, 4.8 mM) was slowly added dropwise to a solution of 5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydro-9H-carbazol-4(3H)-one (973 mg, 4.0 mM) in 10 mL of DMF at 25° C. After 10 minutes, a-bromo-o-tolunitrile (1.0 g, 5.0 mM) was added and the resultant mixture stirred at room temperature for 30 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed five times with H2O, 1 N HCl, H2O, sat NaHCO3, H2O, and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, concentrated. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and methylene chloride, then dried in vacuo to afford 1.31 g (91%) of the 9-[(2-cyanophenyl)methyl]-5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydrocarbazol-4(3H)-one as a tan solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.75 (dd, 1H, J=1 and 8 Hz), 7.5-7.2 (m, 5H), 6.6 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 5.55 (s, 2H), 4.05 (s, 3H), 2.85 (t, 2H, J=6 Hz), 2.6 (t, 2H, J=6 Hz), and 2.25 (m, 2H).
