40% Methanolic Triton B (0.95 mL, 2.1 mM) was slowly added dropwise to a solution of 5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydro-9H-carbazol-4(3H)-one (510 mg, 2.1 mM) in 30 mL of DMF at −10° C. After 3 minutes, 2-benzylbenzyl bromide (548 mg, 2.1 mM) was added and the resultant mixture stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and 1 N HCl, washed twice with H2O, once with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, and dried in vacuo. The reside was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (elution with ethyl acetate) to afford 324 mg (36%) of the 9-[(2-benzylphenyl)methyl]-5-carbomethoxy-1,2-dihydrocarbazol-4(3H)-one as a tan solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.45-7.0 (m, 10H), 6.9 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 6.3 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 5.2 (s, 2H), 4.15 (s, 2H), 4.05 (s, 3H), 2.5 (m, 4H), and 2.1 (m, 2H).
