Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4-dimethoxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one [described above in (b),2.4 g] in methanol (70 ml) is cooled to -25° C and saturated with ammonia gas. The solution is heated in a pressure bottle at 80° C for 4 hours and cooled to -70° C. The pressure bottle is opened and the solvent is evaporated to give 2-amino-4-methoxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one.
