Potassium Carbonate → 9-bromo-2-t-butoxycarbonylmethyloxy-5-(3-pyridylmethyl)-4H-pyrido [3,2,1-jk]carbazole-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

9-bromo-2-hydroxy-5-(3-pyridylmethyl)-4H-pyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole-4-one (200 mg) produced in Example 102 was suspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (8 ml). After adding potassium carbonate (136 mg), the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, and t-butyl bromoacetate (0.09 ml) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water (20 ml) and the crystals precipitated were recovered by filtration. The thus obtained crude crystals were washed with water, ethanol and ether in succession and recovered by filtration to obtain the title compound (144 mg, 56%).
