Reaction Steps

Combined 5,5-Dimethyl-7-nitro-1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b]azepin-2-one (231 mg, 0.986 mmol), cesium carbonate (650 mg, 2 mmol), iodomethane (123 uL, 2 mmol) and DMF (6 mL). Stirred at room temp. for 1 hour. Evaporated off solvent, added water and extracted into methylene chloride. Dried organic layer over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a yellow solid, 1,5,5-Trimethyl-7-nitro-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b]azepin-2-one. mp 115° C.; LCMS: m/z=249.07 (M+H+), 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.32 (d, 1H, J=2.3 Hz), 8.19 (dd, 1H, J=8.7, 2.3 Hz), 7.34 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz), 3.37 (s, 3H), 2.34 (m, 2H), 2.14 (m, 2H), 1.43 (s, 6H).
