Procedure: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (3.3 ml, 58.5 mmol) was added dropwise at -78° C. to a solution of oxazolyl dichloride (3.6 ml, 46.8 mmol) in methylene chloride and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. To the resulting mixture, a solution of 2-cyclohexylethanol (5.5 ml, 39.0 mmol) in methylene chloride was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at -78° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was stopped by adding triethylamine (20 ml) and water (100 ml). The reaction mixture was extracted 3 times with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed 3 times each with saturated aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and NaCl and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After the solvent was distilled off, the obtained oil was applied to a silica gel column (2.5×40 cm) and eluted with a mixed solution (chloroform:methanol=10:1). The desired fractions were collected and the solvents were distilled off to yield cyclohexylacetaldehyde (2.88 g, 58.4%) as an oil. The same procedure as in Example 2-(2) was performed with ethyl isobutyrate (2.14 ml, 17.8 mmol) and the obtained cyclohexylacetaldehyde (2.25 g, 17.8 mmol) to yield a crystal of 4-cyclohexylmethyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-azetidinone (0.46 g, 13.3%). the mixture was stirred at -78° C. for 1 hour The reaction mixture was extracted 3 times with diethyl ether The organic layer was washed 3 times each with saturated aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and NaCl dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate After the solvent was distilled off eluted with a mixed solution (chloroform:methanol=10:1) The desired fractions were collected the solvents were distilled off

Procedure: A suspension of cyclohexylacetaldehyde (631 mg 5.0 mmol.) and 5-methyltryptamine hydrochloride (1.0 g, 4.3 mmol.) in ethanol. (20 mL) was heated to reflux for 36 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and the crude product isolated by filtration. The solid was triturated with ethanol and washed with diethyl ether. The product was isolated by filtration (731 mg). m/e=282, mp 230° C. (20 mL) was heated to reflux for 36 hours under nitrogen atmosphere

Procedure: To a solution of 60 gm (349 mMol) cyclohexylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) and diethyl ether (100 ml) was added 1N hydrochloric acid (200 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between diethyl ether and water. The ether layer was then separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 58 gm of crude cyclohexylacetaldehyde. The reaction mixture was then partitioned between diethyl ether and water The ether layer was then separated dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: 2-Phenyl-2,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline-one (4.7 g, 17.9 mmol) was combined with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (12 mL), and tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The mixture was chilled to 0° C. A solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes (19 mL of 2.5 M) was added dropwise. After the addition was complete the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes at 0° C. and then cooled to −78° C. To the cooled solution was added cyclohexylacetaldehyde (12 g, 35 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for 30 minutes before quenching with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform. The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a yellow oily solid. The oily solid was purified by automated flash chromatography (AnaLogix, eluted with a gradient of 0-30% CMA in chloroform) to provide a yellow solid. The solid was boiled in acetonitrile and filtered. The filtrate was adsorbed onto silica gel and purified by automated flash chromatography (AnaLogix, eluted with a gradient of 0-20% CMA in chloroform) to provide a white foam. The foam was stirred in acetonitrile and filtered to provide 213 mg of 1-(2-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinolin-4-one as a white powder, mp 254-259° C.
