1,2,3,3a,8,8a-Hexahydro-5-nitro-1,3a,8-trimethylpyrrolo[2,3-b]indole (2.2 g) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 ml) and hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus at 45 psi using PtO2 (220 mg) as a catalyst. The reduction was complete within 2 hours. The reduction mixture was filtered directly into a nitrogen flushed flask. 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (0.100 g) and triethylamine (0.9 g) were added, the mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a solution of phenylchloroformate (1.4 g) in ethyl acetate (100 ml) was added over a period of 1.5 hours. The mixture was washed with water (2×100 ml), dried (Na2SO4), concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (eluting with 15% MeOH/EtOAc). The pure fractions were concentrated to give 1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydro-5-(phenoxycarbonylamino)-1,3a,8-trimethylpyrrolo[2,3-b]-indole (0.66 g), which was transformed to the oxalate salt by dissolving in ether (200 ml) and methanol (20 ml) and adding a solution of oxalic acid (0.16 g) in ether.
