Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 12232367, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

50 g of 2-bromo-10,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10-one are dispersed in 250 ml of ethanol, treated with 9.9 g of sodium borohydride and stirred for 1 hour. After the addition of water, the mixture is extracted with ether. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. There is obtained 2-bromo-10,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10-ol of melting point 108°-110° C. 49.9 g of 2-bromo-10,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,f]thiepin-10-ol, 250 ml of benzene and 18 g of finely powdered calcium chloride are saturated with hydrochloric acid gas at 15° C and then stirred for a further 3 hours at room temperature. The precipitate is filtered off and washed with benzene. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure. There is obtained 2-bromo-10-chloro-10,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,f]thiepin of melting point 122.5°-124° C.
