Reaction Steps

Using the methods described above and starting with 1-aminomethyl-5-bromo-4-methoxyindan, 7-bromo-6-methoxy-2,3,4,8,9,9a-hexahydro-4-phenyl-1H-indeno[1,7-cd]azepine is prepared. This intermediate is N-methylated using formic acid-formaldehyde to give cis, trans-7-bromo-6-methoxy-2-methyl-2,3,4,8,9,9a-hexahydro-4-phenyl-1H-indeno[1,7-cd]azepine hydrobromide and, after demethylation using boron tribromide, cis or trans-7-bromo-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,3,4,8,9,9a-hexahydro-4-phenyl-1H-indeno[1,7-cd]azepine.
