Procedure

Acetyl chloride (0.77 mL, 11 mmol) was added to a suspension of crude 5,5-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine (1.2 g, 5.45 mmol) and NaHCO3 (1.37 g, 16.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL). The mixture was heated at reflux for 1 h. After cooling, the mixture was poured into water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 1-(5,5-dimethyl-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b]azepin-1-yl)ethanone (1.05 g, 64% over two steps).
