Procedure

A mixture of 10-ethyl-8,9-dihydro-7-[(5-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-6(7H)-one (1.0 g), 10% palladium on carbon (0.25 g), and ammonium formate (0.5 g) in acetic acid (14 ml) was stirred at 90° C. for 1 hour and 45 minutes and cooled to room temperature. After filtration of the catalyst, the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was suspended in 0.5N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was washed twice with toluene, made basic with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and extracted three times with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water twice and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to give crystals. Recrystallization from chloroform-methanol gave 10-ethyl-8,9-dihydro-7-[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-6(7H)-one (0.319 g).
