Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-5-ethyl-6,6-difluoro-5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazepin-3-ylamine (1.2 mmol) in sulfuric acid (5.0 ml) was added at 0° C. red fuming nitric acid (1.9 mmol) over a period of 20 min and stirring was continued for 30 min. The solution was dropped slowly into ice/water (60 ml), the pH was adjusted to 9 by addition of aqueous 4 N NaOH and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried, evaporated and the residue purified by chromatography on silca-NH2 using n-heptane/ethyl acetate to give (R)-5-ethyl-6,6-difluoro-5-(2-fluoro-5-nitro-phenyl)-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-[1,4]oxazepin-3-ylamine as a pale yellow solid. MS: m/z=318.1 [M+H]+.
