Condensation of 2-iodoaniline (I) with cyclohexane-1,3-dione (II) at 120 C yields secondary amine (III), which is then methylated with iodomethane by means of sodium hydride in refluxing benzene to provide tertiary amine (IV). Treatment of (IV) with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and dimethylaminomethylene iodide (Eschenmoser's salt) (V) in THF yields dimethylaminomethyl derivative (VI), which is then coupled with 2-methylindole (VII) in DMF to give compound (VIII). Cyclization of cyclohexenone derivative (VIII) by means of palladium (II) acetate and triethylamine in acetonitrile provides carbazolone derivative (IX), which is finally converted into the desired hydrochloride salt by treatment with HCl.
