Sodium Bicarbonate → Ethyl 7-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 1N hydrochloric acid (25 ml) and ethanol (20 ml) was dissolved ethyl 7-bromo-1-formyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (1165 mg), and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was neutralized with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (300 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (100 ml) and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (150 g, hexane/ethyl acetate=9:1) to give ethyl 7-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (628 mg, 59%).
