Reaction Steps

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-3-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-9H-pyrrolo-[3,4-b]quinolin-9-one (100 mg, 0.3265 mmol) (prepared as in Example 5) and 2-chloropyrimidine (38 mg, 0.3265 mmol) were stirred in DMF (2.5 mL) at 100° C. for 16 h. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 5% CH3OH/CH3Cl) to yield a yellow oil. Trituration of the oil with MeOH afforded the product as a pale yellow solid.
