Participants

Reaction Steps

To 100 mg of 2-(10,11-dihydro dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-2-yl)-propionic acid was added 2 ml of ethanol containing 17% of hydrogen chloride and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solvent was distilled off to obtain the residue, to which was added ice-water and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off to obtain pale brown oil, which was chromatographed over silica gel and eluted with benzene-chloroform. There was obtained 96 mg of ethyl 2-(10,11-dihydro dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-2-yl)-propionate as pale yellow oil.
