Procedure

To a solution of 8-methoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine-2-one (1.00 g, 5.23 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added dropwise 1M solution of BBr3 in DCM (5.23 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 30 min, the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 5 hrs, allowed to cool to ambient temperature and poured into ice-water. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (5×10 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. The solid residue was washed with n-hexane and dried in high vacuum. The title compound was obtained as a white powder (705 mg, 76%). M.P.: 226-227° C.; MS (FAB): calcd for C10H11NO2 177.2; found m/e 178 (M+1)+.
