Procedure

A solution of 5.0 g. of 6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid in 16 ml. of 5% sodium hydroxide is added dropwise to a cold solution of 1.36 g. of sodium borohydride in 40 ml. of water. The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours, poured onto ice, and acidified with glacial acetic acid. The precipitate is filtered and washed with water to provide colorless crystals, m.p. 132°-133.5° C. of 6,11-dihydro-11-hydroxydibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid.
