Reaction Steps

5-(3-Aminopropylidene)-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene is dissolved in acetic anhydride and the solution is heated to refluxing for 20 minutes. The solution is then cooled and poured into a large volume of water. The mixture is stirred until the excess acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed. The product is extracted into ether, the extract washed with sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by washing with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The product is isolated by evaporating the ether.
