7.3 g of 8-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepine in 30 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran were added under argon to 930 mg of Mg shavings and a granule of iodine. The reaction was initiated by the addition of a few drops of 1,2-dibromoethane and had finished after 2 hours. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was cooled to -10° C. and excess acetaldehyde was distilled into the reaction vessel. After 10 minutes, the mixture was hydrolyzed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3 ) solution, extracted with ether, washed with water, dried and evaporated to dryness. Chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 3:1) yielded 4.93 g of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-α-methyl-1-benzoxepine-8-methanol as a colorless oil.
