Conditions

Temperature: -78 °C

Procedure

Dissolved 4-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ylidene)-1-methylpiperidine (12 g, 0.042 mol) in 250 mL of dry THF. Cooled to -78° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Added n-butyl lithium (18 mL of 2.5M in hexane) dropwise via addition funnel. Maintain temperature at 0° C. for 1 hour then recooled to -78° C. Added 21 mL of dry methanol, and let warm to room temperature. Added saturated NH4Cl, and extracted with THF. Dried combined organic extracts with MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated to give 11.3 g (94% yield) of 4-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-yl)-1-methyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine as a white solid.
