At 140° C., 2-chloro-N-methyl-N-phenethyl-acetamide (20 g, 94 mmol) and aluminum trichloride (18.9 g, 142 mmol, 1.5 eq.) were heated for 8 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and poured over ice. The mixture was extracted with dichlomethane (3×200 mL) and dried with sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give 3-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-2-one (18.2 g, 100%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.1 (m, 4H), 3.92 (s, 2H), 3.71 (t, 2H), 3.15 (t, 2H), 3.03 (s, 3H).
