Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-benzyl-9-(phenylsulfonyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole (VIII, Step II, 453 mg, 1.09 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) is treated with palladium hydroxide (118 mg) and hydrogenated at 30 psi for 5 days. The mixture is filtered, rinsing with methanol and methylene chloride, and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to give an amorphous solid. The material is purified by flash chromatography (Biotage 40M; methanol/methylene chloride, 5/95; methanol/methylene chloride/ammonium hydroxide, 20/79/1) to give the title compound. Analytical data for the hydrochloride salt, mp=290-291.5°; IR (drift) 3382, 2751, 2698, 2689, 2646, 2438, 1297, 1150, 1131, 1095, 801, 759, 722, 684 and 616 cm−1; NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) 11.65, 7.35, 8.05-8.15, 7.85-7.95, 7.40-7.65, 3.20-3.40 and 3.10-3.25 δ; MS (EI) m/z 326 (M+), 298, 297, 286, 285, 284, 143 and 77; HRMS (FAB) calculated for C18H19N2O2S=327.1167, found 327.1165.
