Procedure
To the solution 5-tert-butyl 2-ethyl 1-methyl-1,4,6,7-tetrahydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate (1.0 eq) in EtOH was added NaOH (1.05 eq.) and refluxed for 6 hrs. Reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and neutralized to get desired compound 5-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid.
