Rearrangement of 1-(α-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines to 1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines

Abstract
When methoxy-substituted 1-(α-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines are heated in formic acid they rearrange initially to give 5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-3-benzazepines which, on further heating in formic acid, are reduced to 1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines.
