Procedure

A solution of 1.4 g. of sodium borohydride, 200 ml. of methanol, and 4.0 g. of methyl 6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetate is stirred at 5°-10° for four hours and then the methanol is removed under high vacuum. Water and tetrahydrofuran are added to the residue, and the solution is adjusted to a pH of 5-6 with the addition of acetic acid and stirred for two hours at room temperature. The mixture is extracted with chloroform, and the chloroform solution is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Trituration of the solid with ether provides methyl 6,11-dihydro-11-hydroxydibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetate as colorless crystals, m.p. 85°-87°.
