Procedure
A mixture of 4-methyl-1-(phenylamino)-pentan-3-ol (22 g, 0.11 mol) in 98% H2SO4 (250 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water basified with sat. NaOH solution to pH 8 and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether) to afford 5,5-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine as a brown oil (1.5 g, 8%).
