The process comprises reaction of racemic or chiral tetrahydro-6-(phenylmethyl)-1H- pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,7(6H)-dione of formula II with a reducing agent, which is a mixture of two agents, that is mixture of dimethyl sulphate and sodium borohydride or aluminum chloride and sodium borohydride used in a molar ratio ranging from 1:1 to 1: 4, in the presence of a polar solvent at a temperature ranging from 15°C to 45°C 10 to obtain racemic or chiral octahydro-6-(phenylmethyl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine of formula I having purity ≥ 96%.
