Patent ID: 7196193

Claim:
A method for producing 6-aminomethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepin comprising the steps of: (i) allowing 2-(11H-dibenz[b,e]azepin-6-ylmethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione to react with a metal hydride or a metal hydride complex to form N-[(6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepin-6-yl)methyl]-o-hydroxymethylbenzamide; and (ii) transforming the formed N-[(6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepin-6-yl)methyl]-o-hydroxymethylbenzamide into 6-aminomethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepin.
