Reaction Steps

A solution of 5 g of ethyl 6,7-dihydro-9-hydroxypyrido[1,2-a]indole-8-carboxylate (prepared as described in Example 1) in 200 ml of dimethylformamide was treated with 550 mg of sodium hydride. The mixture was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere and then a solution of 3.6 g of ethyl bromoacetate in 50 ml of dimethylformamide was added. After 16 hours, the mixture was poured into water and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried and concentrated to give 4.4 g of ethyl 8-(ethoxycarbonyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-9-oxopyrido[1,2-a]indole-8-acetate.
