Reaction Steps

To a solution of [9-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-4-yl]-piperidin-1-yl-methanone (23) (260 mg, 0.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was added pyridine (633 mg, 8.0 mmol, 0.65 mL). The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and methanesulfonyl chloride (458 mg, 4.0 mmol, 0.31 mL) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The mixture was washed with 2 N HCl (2×50 mL) and water (2×50 mL), dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was triturated with diethyl ether to afford 263 mg (82%) of methanesulfonic acid 2-[4-(piperidine-1-carbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-carbazol-9-yl]-ethyl ester as a white solid. The structure was confirmed by 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δC 21.4, 21.8, 24.7, 25.9, 26.9, 27.4, 36.6, 36.8, 41.7, 43.3, 47.0, 67.9, 108.5, 109.5, 118.4, 119.7, 121.3, 126.9, 136.2, 172.7.
