Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 2.0 g (11.3 mmol) of 3,4-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-one oxime in 15 ml of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) was added dropwise at 0° C. under argon to a mixture of 4.5 g (23.7 mmol) of titanium tetrachloride and 1.79 g (47.4 mmol) of sodium borohydride in 50 ml of DME over the course of 20 min. After stirring at RT for 2 days, 100 ml of water were added dropwise and the mixture was rendered alkaline using conc. ammonia solution. After filtering off the precipitate with suction, the filtrate was extracted three times with EA. After washing with sodium chloride solution, drying over magnesium sulfate and concentrating, 2.1 g of 5-amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepine were obtained.
