Procedure
A solution of 1,5-dimethyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrano[4,3-b]indole-1-acetic acid ethyl ester (17.0 g), described in Example 916, in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) is added dropwise to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (5.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml). The mixture is heated at reflux for 2.5 hr. and then cooled and treated with a mixture of water-tetrahydrofuran (30 ml - 150 ml). The mixture is filtered through celite and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel. Elution with chloroform gives 1,5-dimethyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrano[4,3-b]indole-1-ethanol.
