Procedure

A solution of 4-methyl-3-phenylmethylimino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocyclopent[b]indol-7-ol (14.0 g) was placed in a 3-neck flask and cooled to 0° C. in an ice-water bath. A solution of 1M borane/THF in THF (145 ml) was added in a dropwise manner. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour while it was slowly warmed to room temperature. The mixture was cooled back to 0° C. and trifluoroacetic acid was added in a dropwise manner. The solution was stirred for 15 minutes, neutralized with 10% NaOH (Aq), extracted with CH2Cl2, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give 1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydro-4-methyl-3-phenylmethylaminocyclopent[b]indol-7-ol (14 grams).
