Procedure

7-Benzyloxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepine (D2) (25.3 g, 100 mmol) was dissolved in 2.5% acetic acid in dichloromethane (400 ml) at 0° C. and treated dropwise with cyclobutanone (11.2 ml, 150 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and then sodium triacetoxyborohydride (31.8 g, 150 mmol) was added portion wise. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, basified with saturated sodium carbonate solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined extracts were washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was triturated with hexane and filtered to afford the title product (E1). MS (ES+) m/e 308 [M+H]+.
