Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (0.05 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (7 ml) was added a solution of 5-(4-benzyl-5-oxomorpholin-2-yl)methylidene-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (0.55 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) under ice-cooling, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour and refluxed with stirring for 7 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, admixed with water and extracted with ether. The ether extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to afford 5-(4-benzylmorpholin-2-yl)methylidene-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene as oily material. M.P., 209° - 210° C (decomp.) (oxalate).
