The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 2 hours and then cooled. After filtration of the catalyst, the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 10% methanol-chloroform. The organic layer was washed successively with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, water, and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The crystalline residue was recrystallized from chloroform-hexane to give 8,9-dihydro-7-[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-6(7H)-one (9.85 g).
