Procedure

202 mg of NaH (50%) are added to a solution of 771 mg of 7-nitro-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepin-2-one in 20 ml of DMF. The reaction medium is stirred for 15 minutes and then 583 mg of iodomethane are added. The mixture is stirred for 4 hours at ambient temperature and then run into ice-cold water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification is carried out by flash chromatography on silica gel (40-63 μm), elution being carried out with a heptane/ethyl acetate (80/20 to 50/50) mixture. 275 mg of 1-methyl-7-nitro-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1-benzazepin-2-one are obtained in the form of a yellow solid.
