Procedure

3-Chloro-5-(3-ethoxypropyl)-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (0.03 mole) is dissolved in 45 ml. of acetic anhydride. The solution is heated to 65°C. and nitrogen is passed through while 30 ml. of hydriodic acid (sp. gr., 1.5) is added gradually, keeping the temperature below 90°C. The solution is heated to approximately 80°C. for 30 minutes, then cooled and poured into ice-water. The product is extracted into ether, the extract washed with dilute sodium thiosulfate solution, followed by dilute sodium bicarbonate solution and finally with water. The product is isolated by evaporation of the ether.
