Reaction of 10-methoxy-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine (I) with phosgene in toluene produced the dibenzoazepine-5-carbonyl chloride (II). This was converted to urea (III) upon treatment with ethanolic ammonia. Acidic hydrolysis of the enol ether function of (III) afforded ketone (IV). Then, reduction of the ketone (IV) to the target alcohol was accomplished either by catalytic hydrogenation over copper chromite or by means of NaBH4 in aqueous EtOH.

1) The reaction of 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine (I) with phosgene in hot toluene gives 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-carbonyl chloride (II), which is treated with NH3 in refluxing ethanol to afford 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide (III). Finally, this compound is hydrolyzed with refluxing 2N HCl.

A new process for the preparation of oxcarbamazepine has been reported: Reaction of 1-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one (I) with NaOH in refluxing THF gives 2-[2-(phenylamino)phenyl]acetic acid (II), which is condensed with dimethyl carbonate (III) by means of butyl lithium in the same solvent to yield 2-[2-[N-(methoxycarbonyl)-N-phenylamino]phenyl]acetic acid (IV). Cyclization of compound (IV) by means of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) at 100 C, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with hot methanol (65 C) affords 10-methoxy-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (V), which is treated with NaOH in polyethyleneglycol at 100 C to provide 10-methoxy-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine (VI). Reaction of (VI) with sodium cyanate in acetic acid gives 10-methoxy-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide (VII), which is finally treated with H2SO4.
