Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-ethyl-8-methoxy-1,3-dihydro-benzo[d]azepin-2-one (2.20 g, 0.010 mol) in acetic acid (30 mL) was added palladium 10% wt on carbon (50% wet; 200 mg). The mixture was shaken in a Parr apparatus under an atmosphere of hydrogen (50 PSI) for 1 day. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, concentrated, and subjected to flash chromatography on SiO2 (ethyl acetate/hexanes 20-70%) to give 3-ethyl-8-methoxy-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-2-one (1.33 g, 60%), as a white solid. m.p. ° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.00 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.75 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 3.85 (s, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 3.69 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 2H), 3.48 (q, J=7.3 HZ, 2H), 3.08 (t, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 1.16 (t, J=7.3 Hz, 3H); LC/MS (ESI+): 220.06 (M+H).
