“…The resulting precipitates were crystallized with Et2O to give 10 (44.6 g, 93%) as a white powder: 1 H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.43-1.91 (4H, m), 2.22-2.47 (2H, m), 2.42 (3H, s), 3.41-3.93 (2H, m), 7.05-7.35 (5H, m), 7.52-7.67 (2H, m). 7-Chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine (11). To a solution of tosylate 10 (30 g, mmol) in MeOH (300 mL) was slowly added Mg (7.2 g, mmol) to maintain a gentle reflux and H2 evolution.…”
