The suspension was stirred for 10 minutes and treated with methyl iodide (1 g, 7 mmol). The mixture was stirred for an additional 4 hours and then partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 ml) and water (50 ml). Washing once with brine (30 ml), drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporation of solvent gave 2-methyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[c]azepin-3-one (1 g, 5.7 mmol, 95%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.2 (m, 5H), 4.52 (s, 2H), 3.18 (t, 2H), 3.09 (s, 3H), 3.00 (t, 2H).
