Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-nitro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocyclohepten-5-one (14.87 g), iron (14.87 g) and ammonium chloride (2.0 g) in ethanol (200 ml) and water (40 ml) was refluxed for 5 hours, and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to afford 3-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocyclohepten-5-one (12.86 g).
