The solution was cooled to 0° C. and borane-methylsulfide complex (12.4 mL, 210 mmol) was slowly added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min, warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 h, then heated at reflux for 4 h. Upon cooling to room temperature, the mixture was quenched with MeOH (50 mL) to remove excess borane. The solvent was then evaporated to give 7-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzoazepine and 7-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzoazepine as sticky oil. LCMS: (FA) ES+226 and 228.
