A new approach to the medicinally important 5-methyl- and 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptenimines is presented. Through the novel addition to carbinol 3 of various species exhibiting an .alpha.-effect, amine equivalents were incorporated at the tertiary C-5 position, giving derivatives 9a-d. Ritter reactions of carbinol 3 gave a dimerized and rearranged derivative as well as an imine-bridged species [a 5,10-(nitrilometheno) derivative]. Under moderately acidic conditions, high yields of the C-5 derivatives 9a-d were obtained without competing elimination or dimerization. The rate of ring closure of these compounds to the corresponding heterocycles 10a-d was greatly enhanced under basic conditions. An increasing reactivity order paralleling an increase in nucleophilicity was observed (9a .gtoreq. 9c > 9b > 9d > 9e). The synthesis of the 5-desmethyl ring-closed hydroxylamine 14 was also expedited by this route. Investigation of the 13C NMR spectral properties of the ring-closed heterocycles showed an equilibration, via inversion at the nitrogen bridge, between syn and anti conformers. Hydrogenolysis of 10a-c and 14 completed the synthesis of the 5-methyl- and 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptenimines 1a and 1b, respectively.
