Reaction Steps

Methoxy-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (3.4 g, 0.015 mol), 1-bromo-2-methoxyethane (2.82 mL, 0.030 mol), and potassium carbonate (6.2 g, 0.045 mol), were added to N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL), and the reaction was stirred over night at room temperature. The reaction mixture was next partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, and the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. Flash chromatography on SiO2 (MeOH/dichloromethane 0-7%) gave 7-methoxy-3-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (2.4 g, 55%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.65 (s, 1H), 6.81 (s, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 3.53 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 2H), 3.37 (s, 3H), 2.97 (m, 2H), 2.90 (m, 2H), 2.72 (m, 6H); LC/MS (ESI+): 281.10 (M+H).
