Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-benzyl-3-nitro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-6-amine (2.8 g), formic acid (8 ml) and acetic anhydride (16 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give N-benzyl-N-formyl-3-nitro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-6-amine (2.71 g).
