Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1,4-oxazepane hydrochloride (24.80 g, 180 mmol), sodium acetate (29.60 g, 360 mmol) and acetic acid (20.6 ml, 360 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (400 ml) was stirred for 1 hr, a solution of chloroacetyl chloride (14.3 ml, 180 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) was added dropwise under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added, sodium hydrogen carbonate (65.7 g, 792 μmmol), and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The insoluble material was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1-1:2) to give N-chloroacetyl-1,4-oxazepane (29.8 g, yield 93%).
