<p>A process for producing (Z)-11-(3-dimethylaminopropylidene)-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid or an acid addition salt thereof, which comprises subjecting 11-hydroxy-11- (3-dimethylaminopropyl)-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e] oxepin-2-acetic acid or a salt thereof to a heat treatment in a solvent and a water removal treatment in a reaction system in the presence of an acid selected from a group consisting of hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid, enables the production of (Z)-11-(3-dimethylamino-oropylidene)-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid or an acid addition salt thereof, which is useful as a medicinal agent, in a high yield and in an industrially advantageous manner.</p> |
