Reaction Steps

In this process, 10 g of 11-hydroxy-2-(2-triphenylmethyloxyethyl)-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin is dissolved in a solution comprising 800 ml of acetone, 1000 ml of water, 20 ml of saturated aqueous magnesium sulfate solution and 0.2 g of disodium phosphate. To the solution is dropwise added 2.6 g of aqueous sodium permanganate solution and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours. Then, 100 ml of methanol is added thereto and the mixture is heated at reflux for 3 hours. After allowing the mixture to stand for cooling, the mixture is filtered and the filtrate is extracted with 1000 ml of ethyl acetate, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent is distilled away under reduced pressure and the resultant crude product is recrystallized from isopropanol to obtain 8.0 g of the desired product having melting point of 132-134° C. as a white crystal.
