Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-9-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-5H-pyrido[2,3-b]indol-4-amine (1b (470 mg) dissolved in 10 mL dichloroethane is refluxed for 3 hours with propionyl chloride (0.5 mL). The residual reagents are evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product is partitioned between aqueous sodium carbonate solution and dichloromethane. The organic extract is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The solid, diacylated product is triturated with hexanes and collected by filtration to afford N,N-Dipropionyl-2-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-9-2,4,6-trimethyl phenyl)-5H-pyrido[2,3-b]indol-4-amine 1c as a white solid.
