Sodium hydride → 11-(2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-7,8,9,9a,10,11-hexahydro-5H-pyrido[3',2':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-f]indolizine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7,8,9,9a,10,11-hexahydro-5H-pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-f]indolizine (70 mg, 0.328 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) was added a suspension of NaH (40.0 mg, 0.986 mmol) in DMF (1 mL). After stiffing for 5 min at RT, a solution of 2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (287 mg, 0.986 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) was added dropwise into the reaction mixture and stirring continued for another 2 h at RT. The progress of reaction was monitored by TLC and LCMS. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×25 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (3×20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude material, which was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (MeOH-DCM) to yield 11-(2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-7,8,9,9a,10,11-hexahydro-5H-pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-f]indolizine;
