Procedure
A solution of N-[2-(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)ethyl]-N-(phenylmethoxy)acetamide (4.07 g) in absolute ethanol was treated with ammonium formate (3.2 g) and 700 mg 5% palladium on carbon. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours then filtered through a short pad of celite. The filtrate was evaporated and the residue purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 2:1 ethyl acetate-hexane) to give an oil. This oil crystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give 1.3 g of N-[2-(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)ethyl]-N-hydroxyacetamide, as crystals, m.p. 113°-115° C.
