Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(4-benzylmorpholin-2-yl)methylidene-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (0.32 g) in acetic acid was added to 10 % palladium on charcoal (90 mg) pretreated under hydrogen in hydrochloric acid, and the resulting mixture was stirred under hydrogen at room temperature for 8 hours. After elimination of the catalyst by filtration, the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was neutralized with 10 % aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform extract was washed with water, dried and evaporated to afford 5-(morpholin-2-yl)methylidene-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene as oily material. M.P., 221° - 224° C (oxalate).
