Reaction Steps

This compound is prepared in the same manner as the 1-(2-phenylethyl) derivative of Example 45 except that 2.58 g of (3aS-cis)-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydro-5-methoxy-1-(2-propenyl)-3a,8-dimethylpyrrolo[2,3-b]indole is reacted as a starting material with 10.1 g of boron tribromide in chloroform.
