Reaction Steps

4-(Benzyloxy)-1-(2-(2-chloroacetyl)-5-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-7-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (70 mg, 0.15 mmol) was dissolved in MeCN (0.5 mL) and pyrrolidine (54 mg, 0.76 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h, concentrated and the residue purified by preparative HPLC. The fractions were concentrated, and the residue was converted to the free base by partitioning between CH2Cl2 and sat. Na2CO3 solution. The organic phase was removed, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness. Conversion to the HCl salt (2 N HCl/Et2O) provided the title compound (74 mg, 97%) as a beige solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 7.62 (dd, J=7.7, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H) 7.46-7.44 (m, 2H), 7.41-7.35 (m, 4H), 7.06 (dd, J=8.0, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 6.36 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.18 (s, 1H), 5.25 (s, 2H), 4.90 (m, 1H, masked by solvent), 4.82 (s, 1H), 4.53 (d, J=14.2 Hz, 2H), 4.09 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 3.91 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 1H), 3.89-3.86 (m, 2H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 3.20-3.18 (m, 2H), 3.05-3.03 (m, 1H), 2.99-2.97 (m, 1H), 2.12-2.10 (m, 2H), 2.08-2.05 (m, 2H); ESI MS m/z 497 [M+H]+; HPLC (Method B) 95.0% (AUC), tR=13.1 min.
