Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 8-iodo-2,5-dioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepine-4-carboxylate (74 g, 0.2 mol) in DMSO (560 mL) and H2O (16 mL) was heated at 150° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to rt, ice (1.0 L) was added, and the mixture was allowed to stir 12 h. To the flask was added 1N HCl (1.0 L) at 0° C. and the mixture allowed to stir for 3 h. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried under reduced pressure to afford 8-iodo-3,4-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-2,5-dione (60 g, 97%).
