Procedure: A mixture of methyl 3-benzyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino (4,5-b) indole-5-carboxylate (1.336 g, 4.0 mmol), 2-hydroxytetrahydropyran (0.980 g, 8.2 mmol), toluene (30 mL) and ether saturated with HCl gas (10 drops) was heated under a nitrogen atmosphere at 110° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with 15 mL of methanol and acidified with conc. hydrochloric acid. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at 20° C., poured into 50 mL of water and made strongly basic with ammonium hydroxide. The toluene layer was separated and the aqueous portion extracted three times with 25 mL of dichloromethane. The combined organic solutions were washed three times with 25 mL of saturated brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated at 50° C. under vacuum to provide 1.67 g (100%) of methyl 3-benzyl-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydro-4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-7H-pyrrolo(2,3-d)carbazole-6-carboxylate, identical in spectroscopic properties and TLC Rf value to the product obtained in Example 1. The reaction mixture was cooled The toluene layer was separated the aqueous portion extracted three times with 25 mL of dichloromethane The combined organic solutions were washed three times with 25 mL of saturated brine dried over sodium sulfate concentrated at 50° C. under vacuum

Procedure: To methyl 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroazepino(4,5-b)indole-5-carboxylate (5.0 g, 20 mmol) stirring in methanol (25 mL) was added enough methanol saturated with HCl to turn moist universal pH paper red. The methanol was evaporated at reduced pressure and to the residue was added H2O (50 mL) and 2-hydroxytetrahydropyran (2.2 g, 22 mmol) and the mixture was allowed to stir at 20° C. overnight. TLC (SiO2, 7.5% methanol/CH2Cl2,) of the mixture showed the formation of two products which were methyl 1,2,4,6-tetrahydro-11-β(4-hydroxybutyl)-3,10b-methanoazepino (4,5-b)indole-5-carboxylate and methyl 1,2,4,6-tetrahydro-11-α (4-hydroxybutyl)-3,10b-methanoazepino (4,5-b)indole-5-carboxylate (Rf 0.68 and 0.76, CAS, blue). The reaction mixture was basified (NH4OH), 10% (aq) and extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to a residue, which was immediately dissolved in THF (100 mL). To the THF solution was added benzyl bromide (2.5 mL, 21 mmol) and then the solution was heated to reflux and monitored by TLC until conversion to the mixture of 3-benzyl 1,2,4,6-tetrahydro-11-β(4-hydroxybutyl)-5-methoxycarbonyl-3,10b-methanoazepino (4,5-b)indolium bromide and 3-benzyl-1,2,4,6-tetrahydro-11-α(4'-hydroxybutyl)-5-methoxycarbonyl-3,10b-methanoazepino (4,5-b)indolium bromide (about 2h) was completed. At this point the THF was evaporated and replaced with methanol (100 mL) and diisopropyl ethyl amine (5.3 mL). Reflux was restarted until TLC showed complete disappearance of the above mixture of compounds. The methanol was evaporated and the residue chromatographed (SiO2, 5% methanol/CH2Cl2) to yield 5.7 g (67%) of methyl 3-benzyl-1,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydro-4(3-hydroxy-propyl)-7H-pyrrolo(2,3-d)carbazole-6-carboxylate as a gum;TLC (SiO2, 7.5% methanol/CH2Cl2) Rf 0.86 (CAS, blue).

Procedure: Tetrahydropyran-2-ol (2) (14.03 g; 0.138 mol) is added to a benzene solution (300 ml) of (ethoxycarbonylethylidene) triphenylphospholane (64.40 g; 0.178 mol) and the whole is refluxed at 90° C. for 1.5 hours. After the temperature is returned to room temperature, the solvent is then distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue is separated and purified by column chromatography (developing solution, ethyl acetate:hexane=1:5) to produce Ester 3 (25.15 g; 0.135 mol) of 98% in yield. is returned to room temperature the solvent is then distilled off under reduced pressure the residue is separated purified by column chromatography (developing solution, ethyl acetate:hexane=1:5)
