3.8 g (0.02 mole) of 6-methoxy-2,3,4,5-tetra-hydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-one and 10 g of pyridinium chloride are heated for 2 hours at 200°-220° C. The melt is cooled and poured into water, and the mixture is acidified with 2 N H2SO4 and extracted repeatedly with ether. The combined organic phases are dried and concentrated and the residue is recrystallized from an acetone/cyclohexane/ethyl acetate mixture in the presence of animal charcoal. 1.6 g of 6-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-one, of melting point 243°-244° C., are obtained. This material is identical with the product obtained under Ia.
