The triethylsilane was replenished in about 8-hour intervals. When the reaction was judged complete by TLC (300:25:1 chloroform:methanol: 28% aqueous ammonia, basified aliquot) the excess of triethylsilane and other volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified and worked-up as in Method A to give the desired 1,3-dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,12-hexahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazoline hydrochloride as white crystalline solid.
