Procedure: 7-Bromo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]oxepin-5-one (10.0 g, 41.5 mmol) in dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (100 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 18 h. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and cyclohexane (100 mL) was added. The resulting solid precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with cyclohexane and then dried under vacuum at 40° C. to yield 7-Bromo-4-[1-dimethylamino-meth-(E)-ylidene]-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]-oxepin-5-one as yellow crystals (8.19 g, 67%). 1H NMR δ (ppm) (CDCl3): 7.83 (1H, d, J=2.59 Hz), 7.74 (1H, s), 7.46 (1H, dd, J=8.51, 2.58 Hz), 6.88 (1H, d, J=8.52 Hz), 4.27-4.19 (2H, m), 3.14 (6H, s), 2.76-2.69 (2H, m). The resulting solid precipitate was collected by filtration washed with cyclohexane dried under vacuum at 40° C.

Procedure: To a slurry of NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil) (1.48 g, 37.1 mmol) in THF (˜50 mL) at room temperature was added 1-(5-bromo-2-(2-bromoethoxy)phenyl)ethanone (8.07 g, 25.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was slowly heated to reflux and allowed to stir for 20 h. The solvent was removed under vacuum pressure and the concentrated residue was absorbed onto silica gel and purified by column chromatography (4:1 ethyl acetate/petroleum ether). The product was afforded as a yellow oil after the solvents were removed, providing 4.22 g (70%) of 7-bromo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[b]oxepin-5(2H)-one. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.87 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=2.6, 8.1 Hz, 1H), 6.97 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 4.24 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 2H), 2.89 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.15-2.29 (m, 2H).
