Reaction Steps

A mixture of lithium 4-[4-amino-1-(2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl]butanoate from Step E (900 mg, 2.69 mmol), EDC (1.29 g, 6.73 mmol), HOAT (916 mg, 6.73 mmol), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.94 mL, 5.38 mmol) was stirred in DMF (10 mL) at ambient temperature for 4 h, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (5 mL) and EtOAc (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with H2O (5 mL), then 10% aqueous citric acid (5 mL), then dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of hexane:EtOAc—80:20 to 0:100, to give the racemic product. The enantiomers were resolved by HPLC, utilizing a Chiralpak AS column and eluting with CH3CN:MeOH—25:75. The first major peak to elute was tert-butyl (6-oxo-2a,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroazocino[4,3,2-cd]indol-1 (2H)-yl)acetate, enantiomer A, the title compound, and the second major peak to elute was tert-butyl (6-oxo-2a,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroazocino[4,3,2-cd]indol-1(2H)-yl)acetate, enantiomer B. MS: m/z=317 (M+1).
