Procedure

A mixture of 3-hydroxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocyclohepten-5-one (7.02 g), potassium carbonate (8.25 g) and iodomethane (7.4 ml) in N,N-dimethylformamide (70 ml) was stirred at 50-55° C. for 7 hours. The resulting mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to afford 3-methoxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocyclohepten-5-one (5.49 g).
