Reaction Steps

Part A. To tert-butyl 5-(2-oxohexahydro-1H-azepin-1-yl)-1-indolinecarboxylate (140 mg, 0.42 mmol) that had been prepared as in Part C of Example 15 using 6-bromohexanoyl chloride instead of 5-bromovaleryl chloride was added 10 mL of 4.0 M HCl in dioxane. The resulting solution was maintained at rt under N2 for 2 h and was then concentrated. The resulting residue was dissolved in 25 mL of EtOAc, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was washed with EtOAc (2×50 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 1-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-yl)hexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one (96 mg, 100%) as a brown oil. LC/MS (ESI+): 231.2 (M+H)+. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 6.9 (s, 1H), 6.79 (d, 1H), 6.76 (d, 1H), 3.98 (br s, 1H), 3.66 (br m, 2H), 3.52 (t, 2H), 3.01 (t, 2H), 2.65 (br s, 2H), 1.78 (br s, 6H).
