To a solution of 2-methyl-4-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b]azepine-1-carbonyl)benzonitrile from Example F1 (430 mg, 1.48 mmol) in methanol (25 ml) was added cobalt (II) chloride (710 mg, 3.0 mmol) and cooled in an ice/water bath. Sodium borohydride (570 mg, 15 mmol) was added portionwise and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was evaporated, 1N HCl(aq) (20 ml) was added and stirred for 15 mins. The mixture was filtered through Celite® and the Celite® was washed with 2-propanol:chloroform, 20:80 (100 ml). The mixture was separated and the aqueous layer washed with diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was basified with 2N NaOH(aq), chloroform was added and the mixture filtered through Celite®. The Celite® was washed with chloroform. The mixture was separated and the organic layer dried and evaporated, yield 340 mg, 78%.
