The above lactam was hydrolyzed with base according to the following procedure: 5 g of 1-oxo-6-methoxy-7,8-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole were dissolved in a mixture of 77 ml of ethanol and 51 ml of water. 13.9 g of potassium hydroxide were added, and the solution was heated to refluxing temperature overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was cooled, and the pH adjusted to about 4 by the addition of 12N aqueous hydrochloric acid. A precipitate formed in the acidic solution, which precipitate was isolated by filtration, and the filter cake washed with water. 5.15 g of 3-(2-aminoethyl)-5-methoxy-6,7-dichloroindol-2-carboxylic acid were obtained. The compound melted at 248°-249° C.
