Ether (60 ml) and 4-bromo-1-methoxy-butane (10.2 g) were added to magnesium turnings (1.46 g). After formation of the Grignard reagent, the mixture was cooled to 0° and 3,4-dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]indol-10(2H)-one (3.72 g) in dry 1,2-dichloroethane (20 ml) added dropwise over 20 minutes. The solution was stirred under argon at 0° C. for 1 hour, poured onto a swirling mixture of ice (100 ml) and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (60 ml) and the mixture was stirred for a further 20 minutes. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the aqueous residue extracted with chloroform (3×100 ml). The extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Ether (20 ml) was added and the product was filtered and recrystallised from ethyl acetate to give the title compound or the free base (3.55 g), m.p. 128°-139° C. The free base was acidified with ethereal HCl to give the title compound as the hydrochloride, m.p. 178°-179° C.
