Reaction Steps

In a sealed tube was added a solution of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-phenylmethoxy-4-methylcyclopent[b]indole-2-carboxylic acid ecid ethyl ester (5.0 g, 0.014 mole) in 25 ml of absolute ethanol, followed by ammonia (30% aqueous solution, 10ml, 0.17 mole). After heating at 100° C. for five days, the mixture was cooled and the resultant tan precipitate collected and dried to give 3.0 g, m.p. 145°-148° C.
