USPTO Abstract
The invention refers to a new process for the preparation of a valuable intermediate, 5H-Dibenzo-(b, f)-azepine or iminostilbene by catalytic dehydrogenation of lO,ll-Dihydro-5H-dibenzo-(b, f)-azepine or iminodibenzyl in liquid phase in one step in the presence of hydrogen acceptor. Dimethylaniline or diphenylether may be used as a solvent and as catalyst, nobel metal catalysts, such as platinum or palladium on activated carbon or metaloxide catalysts, such as Fe₂O₃ may be used in the dehydrogenation reaction. Nitrotoluenes, dimethylmaleate or tetrachlorobenzochinone may be used as hydrogen acceptors. The yield of iminostilbene is 77-82°C of the theoretical.
