p-Toluenesulfonic acid (50 mg, 0.29 mmol) was added to methyl 13-cyclohexyl-6,7-dihydro-(5R,6S)-rel-5,6-dihydroxy-5H-indolo[2,1-a][2]benzazepine-10-carboxylate (100 mg, 0.25 mmol) in 50 mL of dry toluene. The solution was heated under reflux for 18 hr with removal of water using a Dean-Stark trap. The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine (3×) and dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified utilizing a Biotage apparatus with a prepacked silica column and using gradients of hexanes:ethyl acetate of from (98:2) to (85:15) to afford the product as a light yellow solid (60 mg, 62%).
