Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.78 g (21.12 mmol) of 6-bromo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridin-5-one, hydrobromide and 1.93 g (25.35 mmol) of thiourea in 100 ml of water is heated on a steam bath for 2 hours. The mixture is filtered hot through a pad of Celite to remove a small amount of insoluble solid. The filtrate is cooled, basified with ammonium hydroxide, and a precipitate is collected. Recrystallization from acetonitrile affords 4.26 g (92.8%) of the title compound as a tan solid; mp 220°-222° C. (dec.).
