Sodium borohydride → HCID 20232218, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner, a solution of 1.7 grams of sodium borohydride in 20 milliliters of water was added dropwise to a solution of 3-chloro-11-bromo-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one in 100 milliliters of boiling methanol and the resulting mixture refluxed for 1.5 hours to obtain a 3-chloro-11-bromo-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-ol intermediate which was recovered by evaporating the mixture to dryness in vacuo, then washing with water, filtering and drying under reduced pressure at about 60° C.
