After having stirred the obtained mixture for 2 hours, the formation of an organic phase was observed; said phase was separated, washed twice with water (100 ml) and dried over Na2SO4. After removal of the solvent, the residue was recrystallized from ethanol, obtaining 5.3 g of N-methyl-5,10-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]indole(yield=84%).
