Triethylamine → 5H-1-Benzazepin-5-one, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 3.32 g portion of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-5-one and 4.31 ml of triethylamine were dissolved in 33 ml of dichloromethane and, with stirring on an ice bath, 4.59 g of p-nitrobenzoyl chloride was added to the resulting solution. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for additional 60 minutes. The reaction solution was then mixed with a saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and subjected to phase separation. The dichloromethane layer was separated and washed with a 1N hydrochloric acid aqueous solution and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution once for each. The thus washed layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under a reduced pressure. The thus obtained residue was recrystallized from methyl alcohol to obtain 5.68 g of 1-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-5-one.
