Participants

Reaction Steps

2.1 g of the mixture of (6-iodo-5-oxo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-1-yl)methyl acetate and (4-iodo-5-oxo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-1-yl)methyl acetate prepared in Example 1-g was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 5 ml of pyridine and 5 ml of methanol, and 5 ml of hydrazine monohydrate was added, followed by heating under reflux for 3 days. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified and separated by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=3:7), to give 330 mg and 130 mg of the title compounds as a colorless powder, respectively.
