Procedure

A solution of 3,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-[(5-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrimido[1,6-a]indol-1(2H)-one (0.9 g) in a mixture of acetic acid and water (4:1, 30 ml) was heated at 65° C. for 3.5 hours. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was neutralized with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted three times with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (5% methanol-chloroform) to give 3,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrimido[1,6-a]indol-1(2H)-one (0.447 g) as a powder. This powder was dissolved in a mixture of methanol (40 ml) and 12N hydrochloric acid (0.3 ml). The solution was evaporated to 4 ml and then diluted with ether. The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature to give 3,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2-[(5-methyl- 1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrimido[1,6-a]indol-1(2H)-one hydrochloride (387 mg).
