Procedure

Phenylacetaldehyde (0.091 mL, 0.780 mmol) was added to N-benzylamine 86 (0.055 g, 0.156 mmol) dissolved in MeOH (5.2 mL, 0.03M). 10% Pd/C (0.0557 g) was added, and the mixture was shaken under 40 psi H2 until the consumption of H2 ceased and the reaction was judged complete by TLC. The crude reaction mixture was passed through a column of Celite, concentrated in vacuo, and purified by flash column chromatography (50:48:2::Hexanes:CH2Cl2:2N NH3 in EtOH) to obtain pure 4-phenethyl-1,4-ozazepan-2-ylmethyl)-N-phenylcyclopropanamide (87). 1H NMR (CDCl3) 7.47 (2H, m), 7.37–7.26 (5H, m), 7.24–7.17 (3H, m), 3.94–3.80 (3H, m), 3.69 (1H, broad dd, J=13.3, 7.8 Hz), 3.62 (1H, ddd, J=11.7, 6.2, 5.3 Hz), 2.96–2.86 (2H, m), 2.77 (4H, s), 2.67 (1H, ddd, J=12.8, 8.9, 4.1 Hz), 2.50 (1H, dd, J=8.9, 6.7 Hz) 2.0–1.74 (2H, m), 1.42–1.28 (1H, m), 1.04 (2H, dtd, J=7.8, 3.4, 1.1 Hz), 0.67–0.60 (2H, m) ppm. 13C NMR (CDCl3) 173.79, 143.39, 140.46, 129.52, 128.82, 128.61, 128.44, 127.53, 126.05, 76.41, 67.15, 60.06, 59.53, 53.90, 52.09, 34.21, 30.28, 12.92, 8.71, 8.50 ppm.
