Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-Chloro-7-fluoro-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.1 g. 0.0041 mol) in N-methyl 2-pyrolidone (0.5 mL) was added powdered potassium hydroxide (0.08 g, 0.00143 mol) and allowed to stir for 10 min at RT. 2-trifluoromethyl-5-vinyl pyridine (0.079 g, 0.00046 mol) was added and stirred for further 15 h. at rt, After completion (TLC), reaction mixture was diluted with water (5 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The crude was purified through preparative HPLC to give the desired compound 10 as light yellow solid (0.02 g, 12% yield), 8-Chloro-7-fluoro-2-methyl-5-[2-(6-trifluoromethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-ethyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (0.02 g, 0.0000485 mol) was dissolved in THF (1.0 mL). A solution of oxalic acid dihydrate (0.006 g, 0.0000485 mol) in THF (1.0 mL) was added and stirred for 30 min at RT, Precipitate obtained was filtered and dried to give oxalate salt as white solid (0.015 g, 62% yield).
