The mixture was stirred under the same conditions for 3 hours. ~-To the reaction mixture was added chloroform. The mixture was washed with diluted hydrochloric acid and water successively and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent in vacuo afforded an amorphous mass, which was suspe~ded with stirring in diisopropyl ether. The resultant powder was collected ~y filtration, washed with diisopropyl ether and dried under reduced pressure to give (3S)-3-~2-indolylcarbonylamino)-1,3-dihydro-5-(2- ;
