Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-8-carboxamide (Example 47-1, 0.024 g, 0.078 mmol) in toluene (0.39 mL) was treated with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (0.039 g, 0.171 mmol), and the mixture was heated to reflux. After 4 h, the mixture was cooled to rt. The solid was removed by filtration and rinsed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated, diluted with methanol and subjected to preparative HPLC. The product-containing effluent was treated with NaHCO3 (aq) and concentrated. The residue was extracted three times with DCM, and the combined organic layers were dried and concentrated to give 4-(2-fluorophenyl)-9H-carbazole-1-carboxamide (0.0045 g, 19%) as a light tan solid. Mass spectrum m/z 305.0 (M+H)+.
