To a solution of 3-chloro-1-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepin-5-yl)-1-propanone (14.0 g, 0.044 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) at 0° C., sodium borohydride (6.66 g, 0.176 mol) was added, followed by dropwise addition of glacial acetic acid (10.0 ml). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then heated at reflux temperature for 2 h. More sodium borohydride (6.50 g, 172 mmol) and then borontrifluoride diethyl etherate (20.0 ml, 0.163 mol) were added and heating at reflux temperature was continued for h. Water (350 ml) was cautiously added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with toluene (3×100 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (3×100 ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (100 g) using a gradient of heptane and ethyl acetate (10:0→10:2), to give 4.58 g (38%) of 5-(3-chloropropyl)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine as an oil.
