Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)-8,10,10-trimethyl-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]indolylium perchlorate (34 g, 0.077 mol; Sigma-Aldrich) was placed in 1-L round-bottom, one-necked flask equipped with magnetic stir bar and a reflux condenser. 75 mL of dimethylformamide and 38.5 mL of 1,1-Dimethoxy-N,N-dimethylmethanamine (38.5 mL, 0.290 mol; Aldrich) were added to the flask followed by 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.1 g, 0.0006 mol; Aldrich). The flask was immersed in oil bath with temperature set to 100° C. Stirring was started and continued for 30 min. The flask was cooled to room temperature, the solvent was evaporated in vacuum and the residue was recrystallized from methanol. The yield was 29 g (green crystals, 71% of theory).
