Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of DMF (5 mL) and sodium hydride (0.024 g, 0.0006 mol) at 0° C., 2,8-Dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.1 g, 0.0005 mol) was added and stirred for 2 h at room temperature, Reaction mix was cooled to −20° C. and 5-(3-Bromo-propyl)-2-trifluoromethyl-pyridine (0.2 g, 0.00075 mol) was added, stirred for 1 h at 15° C. After completion (TLC), reaction mass was cooled to 0° C. and water (10 mL) was added, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The crude was purified through column chromatography (3-4% methanol:DCM in silica 100-200 mesh, Diameter of column—2.5 cm, Height of silica—approx. 5 inch) to provide desired compound as brown oil (0.04 g, 20% yield). 2,8-Dimethyl-5-[3-(6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-propyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.04 g, 0.000103 mol) was dissolved in THF (1.0 mL). A solution of oxalic acid dihydrate (0.012 g, 0.0000952 mol) in THF (1.0 mL) was added and stirred for 30 min at RT. The precipitate was filtered and dried to give oxalate salt as off white solid (0.030 g, 61% yield).
