Procedure

2-Methyl-1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indol-3(2H)-one, 1.7 g., and LiAlH4, 2.3 g., are heated in refluxing dioxane, 300 ml., for five hours. The mixture is cooled and carefully hydrolyzed with excess water. Solids are filtered away and washed with dioxane, after which the filtrate is concentrated to dryness giving 1.4 g. of a crude brown product, m.p. 110°-120° C. Since the crude product is sensitive to air oxidation (darkens rapidly on standing), it is not further purified before methiodide preparation.
