Reaktionsschritte

N-(2-Oxoazepan-3-yl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (6A) (4.24 g, 15 mmol) was dissolved in 250 ml of dry THF under a nitrogen atmosphere, and lithium aluminium hydride (1.11 g, 30 mmol) was added slowly. The reaction was heated to reflux for 20 hours and then quenched with water until the effervescence ceased. Solid potassium carbonate was added until a white suspension appeared, and the mixture was allowed to stir for half an hour. The suspension was filtered through celite, which was washed with 3×50 ml of EtOAc. The solvents were evaporated and the residue was dissolved in 100 ml of EtOAc and 100 ml of water. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 2×100 ml of EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate, and evaporated to give compound (6B) as an oil.
