Reaction Steps

A mixture of 15 g (0.052 m) of 6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid in 100 ml of dimethylformamide and 3.87 g (0.028 m) of K2CO3 was warmed to an internal temperature of 50° C. in an atmosphere of nitrogen for 1.5 hours. To this mixture, 9.41 g (0.062 m) of methyl bromoacetate was added dropwise and the mixture was held at 50° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed with 5% NaHCO3 and water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to give 16.5 g (94%) of an oil of methyl(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)acetoxyacetate.
