Reaction Steps

A solution of the 9-[(3-pyridyl)methyl]-4-hydroxy-5-carbomethoxy carbazole (362 mg, 1.09 mmol) in 15 mL THF and 60 mL concentrated aqueous ammonium hydroxide was treated with a stream of NH3 gas to ensure saturation. The reaction vessel was capped and the mixture heated to 35° C. with stirring until tlc indicated complete consumption of starting material (48 hours). The mixture was neutralized to pH 8 with 5 N aqueous HCl, saturated with solid sodium chloride, and extracted twice with THF. The combined organic layers were concentrated. The resulting foam was taken up in a minimal amount of THF and loaded onto a silica gel column which had been pre equilibrated with EtOAc. Elution with EtOAc afforded 255 mg (74%) of the 9-[(3-pyridyl)methyl]-4-hydroxy-5-carbamoyl carbazole as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 10.46 (s, 1H), 8.79 (br s, 1H), 8.43 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 8.39 (dd, 1H, J=1.4 and 4.9 Hz), 8.35 (br s, 1H), 7.84 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.48-7.22 (m, 6H), 7.13 (d, 1H, J=8.3 Hz), 6.58 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), and 5.73 (s, 2H).
