Procedure
A residue 10.27 g containing (R)-7-hydroxy-3-(2-phthalimidopropyl)indole was dissolved in 200 ml of acetone, and 8.00 g of potassium carbonate was added thereto. After addition of N,N-diethylchloroacetamide 15.5 ml, the solution was heated to reflux in an oil bath of 80° C. For 3 hours. After cooling down 200 ml of water was added, and a deposited crystal was collected by filtration and washed with water, whereby 9.56 g of the title compound was obtained in the form of a pale yellowish white substance.
