Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-benzoyl-9-(phenylsulfonyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole (Step III, 1.25 g, 2.81 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (1.58 g, 28.1 mmol) in ethylene glycol (30 mL) is heated at 130° under nitrogen for 92 hr. Upon cooling, the mixture is diluted with H2O and extracted into ethyl acetate (3×). The combined extracts are washed with H2O (2×) and saline, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a solid. The solid is dissolved in hot methylene chloride/methanol and treated with methanolic hydrochloric acid. The resultant mixture is concentrated and crystallized from ethyl acetate/methanol to give the title compound, mp>300°; IR (drift) 2820, 2792, 2747, 2717, 2704, 2665, 2651, 1299, 1147, 1096, 803, 729, 687, 643 and 621 cm−1; NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) 9.41, 8.13, 7.85-7.95, 7.50-7.65, 3.70 and 3.10-3.40 δ; MS (EI) m/z 340 (M+), 298, 157, 156, 128, 78, 74, 73, 58 and 57; HRMS (FAB) calculated for C19H21N2O2S=341.1324, found=341.1319.
