Potassium Carbonate → HCID 67264021, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 1-neck round-bottom flask was added 7-methoxy-8-nitro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (0.500 g, 2.2 mmol), trichloro-methanesulfonic acid 2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl ester (0.45 mL, 2.9 mmol), and potassium carbonate (0.91 g, 6.61 mmol), in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL), and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was partitioned between saturated aqueous Na2CO3 and dichloromethane. Extraction with another portion of dichloromethane, drying (MgSO4), concentration and flash chromatography isolation (on SiO2, MeOH/dichloromethane 0-3%) provided 7-methoxy-8-nitro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (310 mg, 46%) as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.65 (s, 1H), 6.83 (s, 1H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.19 (q, J=9.6 Hz, 2H), 2.95 (m, 4H), 2.88 (s, 4H); LC/MS (ESI+): 305.05 (M+H).
