Procedure

1.02 g of 4-methyl-6-nitro-β-carbolin-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester is dissolved or suspended in 30 ml of ethanol and 6 ml of tetrahydrofuran and, after the addition of 150 ml of palladium-carbon (10%), is hydrogenated at 24° C. and normal pressure. Within 3.5 hours, 210 ml of hydrogen is absorbed. The solution is filtered off and the catalyst and the solvent is distilled off in vacuo. The crude product is recrystallized from methanol-chloroform. 816 mg of 6-amino-4-methyl-β-carbolin-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester of melting point 225°-238° C. (decomposition) is obtained.
