Procedure
To a solution of 6-(((dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-3-methoxy-7H-indeno[2,1-c]quinoline-7-on obtained in example 1 (3 g, 8.6 mmol) in acetic acid (40 ml) was added 47% aqueous hydrobromic acid (40 ml), and the mixture was-refluxed with heat for 60 hours. The reaction mixture was distilled to dryness. To the residue was added water and the solution was adjusted to a pH of about 8 with aqueous ammonia, and subsequently extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; chloroform:methanol:water 8:3:1(v/v/v)) and crystallized from cyclohexane to give 2.1 g (yield: 73.0%) of title compound. The physicochemical properties thereof are shown in table 1.
