Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-Amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-oxo-1H-1-benzazepin-1-t-butyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 100 ml of ethanol is added 10 g of tert-butyl 2-oxo-3-phthalimido-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine-1-acetate, and 5 g of hydrazine hydrate is added to the mixture, followed by refluxing for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, and 300 ml of water is added to the residue, followed by extraction with 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The extract is washed with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide and water, successively, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crystals, which separate out, are treated with a mixture of ether and petroleum ether and collected by filtration to give 6 g of tert-butyl 3-amino-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine-1-acetate as colorless prisms. m.p. 121°-122° C.
