Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-(1-(2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl)hydrazinyl)benzoate (0.1 g, 0.350 mmoles) and 1-methylpiperidin-4-one (0.052 g, 0.350 mmoles) was taken up in 4 mL 1M HCl and heated at 100 degrees C. for 18 hr. LCMS of the reaction mixture shows the formation of the product. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified by reverse phase HPLC.1 to give 5 mg of 2-Methyl-5-(2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole-8-carboxylic acid, as a white solid, 4% yield. Batch Size—800 mg, Purity:—˜3% Since the compound is highly Polar First Purification Was carried on prep HPLC using Water (0.05% TFA) as eluent.
