A mixture of 3-bromo-2-oxo-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid diethylamide (35; prepared according to Example 7(c)) (2.3 g, 10 mmol) and (2-benzyloxy-ethyl)-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-amine (40) (4.1 g, 17 mmol) was stirred under N2 at 50° C. for 3 h and the reaction turned brown. The resulting mixture was dissolved in propan-2-ol (10 mL) and dry zinc chloride (4.09 g, 30 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated to reflux under N2 for 16 h and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with 2 N HCl (50 mL), water (2×50 mL) and aqueous potassium carbonate solution (2×50 mL) then dried and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with petrol (A) and ethyl acetate (B) (5-100% B, 100 g, 28 CV, 60 mL/min) to afford 1.3 g (30%) of 9-(2-benzyloxy-ethyl)-5-fluoro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-4-carboxylic acid diethylamide (41) along with the isomer 9-(2-benzyloxy-ethyl)-7-fluoro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-4-carboxylic acid diethylamide as a mixture which was used in the next step without purification. The structure of 9-(2-benzyloxy-ethyl)-5-fluoro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-4-carboxylic acid diethylamide (41) was confirmed by 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δH 1.10-1.40 (6H, m, N(CH2CH3)2), 1.60-2.60 (4H, m, 2- and 3-CH2), 2.70-2.85 (2H, m, 1-CH2), 3.10-3.65 (4H, m, N(CH2CH3)2 and CH2CH2OBn), 4.00-4.30 (3H, m, CH2CH2OBn and 4-CH), 4.43 (2H, s, OCH2Ph), 6.55-6.65 (1H, m, NCCHCHCHCF), 6.90-7.05 (1H, m, NCCHCHCHCF), 7.05-7.15 (1H, m, NCCHCHCHCF), and 7.16-7.25 (5H, m, Ph).
