Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (100 mg) in anhydrous ether was added a solution of 5-(4-acetylmorpholin-2-yl)methylidene-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]-cycloheptene (350 mg) in anhydrous ether under ice-cooling, and the resulting mixture was stirred under reflux for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, admixed with 10 % aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ether. The ether extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to afford 5-(4-ethylmorpholin-2-yl)methylidene-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene as oily material. M.P., 224° - 225° C (oxalate).
