To thionyl chloride (300 mL) was added 3-(1-acetyl-4-piperidinyl)propionic acid (88.2 g, 0.443 mol) in small portions under ice cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then thionyl chloride was distilled off at 25° C. under reduced pressure. Diethyl ether was added to the residue and then evaporated in vacuo to give a yellow solid. Again, diethyl ether was added, and the solid was crushed with a spatula, and ether was evaporated in vacuo to give 3-(1-acetyl-4-piperidinyl)propionic acid chloride as crude light yellow powder. This light yellow powder and 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-one (64.0 g, 0.369 mol) were suspended into 1,2-dichloroethane (200 mL), into which aluminum chloride (162 g, 1.21 mol) was added in small portions at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, then added to ice-water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried on anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to give a light yellow oily material. The oily material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluted with ethyl acetate/methanol=9:1) and crystallized from ethanol-diethyl ether to give 123.5 g of 8-[3-[(1-acetyl-4-piperidinyl)-1-oxopropyl]-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-4-one as colorless crystals having mp. 157-159° C.
