Reaktionsschritte

The mixture of lactams (VII) and (VIII) (13.6 grams, 45 mmol, trans/cis ratio 1:2.3), obtained as described under E, was dissolved in ethanol (140 ml). To the solution potassium hydroxide was added (43 grams, 811 mmol), whereupon the mixture was heated to reflux for 18 hours. Part of the ethanol (60 ml) was evaporated and water was added (200 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted twice with toluene (100 ml). Subsequently toluene (100 ml) was added to the water phase, followed by concentrated hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 1. During the addition of hydrochloric acid the temperature rises to 75° C. The water layer was separated and upon cooling the product crystallized. The crystals were collected by filtration and dried to provide trans-2-chloro-10,11-dihydro-11[(methylamino)methyl]-dibenz[b,f]oxepin-10-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (II) (3.75 grams, 10.6 mmol, 22%).
