Procedure
Add 80 mL of lithium aluminum hydride (1 M solution in tetrahydrofuran) to a solution of 1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo-[b]azepin-2-one (12.9 g, 80.0 mmol) in 720 mL of tetrahydro-furan. Stir the reaction mixture at reflux for 3 hours and cool to 0° C. Quench the reaction by the sequential addition of 3 mL of water, 3 mL of 15% sodium hydroxide, and 9 mL of water. Filter the resulting suspension through Celite and rinse the filter cake with ethyl acetate. Concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure to provide the desired compound as an orange solid (10.0 g, 85%).
