Reduction of 6-methoxy-9-methyl-11-oxoechiboline 1a using lithium aluminium hydride in boiling tetrahydrofuran under reflux affords 6-methoxy-9-methylechiboline. However, attempts to effect a similar reduction of a suspension of compound 1a in boiling diethyl ether under reflux, in which it is only very slightly soluble, were unsuccessful and when, under these conditions, a Soxhlet apparatus was employed to effect dissolution, an unexpected reductive ring scission occurred along with reduction of the carbonyl group to afford 4a-(2-aminoethyl)-6-methoxy-9-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydrocarbazole 3.
