Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7-nitro-1H-3-benzazepine hydrochloride (1.68 g, 7.35 mmol) in ethanol (100 ml) was added 5% palladium on carbon (0.2 g) and the solution was placed on a Paar Hydrogenator Apparatus and pressurized with 45 psi of hydrogen. After the theoretical uptake of hydrogen had been achieved (2 h), the catalyst was filtered off and washed with water (25 ml). The filtrate was concentrated. Absolute ethanol was added and evaporated until all of the water had been evaporated and a solid formed. The solid was dissolved in hot ethanol (50 ml) and the product was precipitated by the addition of ether (75 ml). The solid was collected and air-dried to give the product as an off-white solid (2.43 g (94%)), m.p. 288°-91° C.
