Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction is performed under an Argon atmosphere and exclusion of light. 1-(4-Methoxy-benzenesulfonyl)-2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1H-azepine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid 2-tert-butyl ester (550 mg, 1.34 mmol) is dissolved in 7 ml dry Tetrahydrofuran (THF). Tripropyl amine (TPA) (280 μl, 1.47 mmol) is added and the reaction is stirred for 30 minutes at RT. Diphenyl phosphoryl azide (318 μl, 1.47 mmol) is added and the reaction is gradually heated to 40° C. for 3 h. The reaction temperature is then increased to reflux conditions for 6 h. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature and 4-Methoxybenzylalcohol (184 μl, 1.47 mmol) is added. The reaction is heated to reflux over night. The solvent is evaporated. Flash-chromatography Hexane/Ethylacetate (2:1) afforded the product: Cal. 383.5 found (M)+ 383.0.
