Procedure

To a stirred solution of 1-methoxy-2-nitro-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-benzocyclohepten-7-one (400 mg, 0.002 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL, 0.1 mol) was added dichlorodihydrostannane (600 mg, 0.003 mol) in 12 M of hydrogen chloride in water (8 mL) over 15 min. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 36 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with water (4 mL) and made basic with 10 N NaOH. A solid precipitated out of solution and was removed by filtration through celite. The solid was washed with chloroform and the organic layer dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to a yellow solid. The solid was triturated with diethyl ether and collected by filtration to give 2-amino-1-methoxy-5,6,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocyclohepten-7-one as a tan solid (200 mg, 60%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.82 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 6.61 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 3.77 (broad s, 2H), 3.72 (s, 3H), 2.96 (m, 2H), 2.81 (m, 2H), 2.58 (m, 4H).
