Reaction Steps

To the mixture of methyl 2-(1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-2-benzazepin-2-yl)quinoline-4-carboxylate (30 mg, 0.087 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added a tetrahydrofuran solution of borane (1.5 mL, 1.5 mmol) at 0° C. After being stirred at 70° C. for 4 hours, the mixture was quenched with methanol (5 mL) at 0° C. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give a residue which was purified by flash column (ethyl acetate/hexane, 3:7) to afford 16 mg of product as a white solid. MS obsd.
