The condensation of 10-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indol-6-one (I) with 5-methyl-1-(triphenylmethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxaldehyde (II) by means of BuLi in THF gives 7-[hydroxy[5-methyl-1-(triphenylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]methyl]-10-methyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indol-6-one (III), which is treated with acetic anhydride in pyridine, yielding the corresponding acetoxy derivative (IV). Elimination of acetic acid from (IV) in hot toluene affords the corresponding methylene derivative (V), which is hydrogenated with H2 over Pd/C in DMF/ethanol giving 10-methyl-7-[5-methyl-1-(triphenylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrido[1,2-a]indol-6-one (VI). Finally, this compound is deprotected in hot acetic acid/water. In order to obtain the (+)-enantiomer, the racemic mixture is treated with either (-)-di-p-toluyl-L-tartaric acid or (+)-di-p-toluyl-D-tartaric acid. The mixture of diastereomeric salts is separated by fractional crystallization. The pure (+)-enantiomer is obtained by treatment of the corresponding tartrate salt with NaHCO3 or NaOH in water. Finally, the (+)-free base is treated with HCl in methanol.
