Reaction Steps

4 g of sodium azide are added portionwise to 8.3 g of 7-methoxy-1-tetralone in 36 ml of acetic acid. Then 17 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid are added dropwise, without a rise in temperature over 40°; the solution is poured onto ice and neutralised with 2 N sodium hydroxide solution. The separating bulk of crystals is removed and recrystallised from ethyl acetate. One obtains 6.4 g of 8-methoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-one (m.p. 137°-138°).
