Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-8,9-dihydro-10-methyl-7-[(5-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-6(7H)-one (0.95 g) in acetic acid (47.5 ml) was added zinc powder (1.09 g) and the mixture was refluxed for 2.5 hours. The resulting precipitates were filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was diluted in chloroform, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, solution, water, and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and chromatographed on silica gel eluted by chloroform-methanol (0-5% V/V), to give 2-chloro-8,9-dihydro-10-methyl-7-[(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-6(7H)-one (0.50 g).
