Reaction Steps

1-Ethyl-6-methoxy-7-nitro-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b]azepin-2-one (1.0 g) in Methylene chloride (12 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and treated with N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine (1.7 mL) then treated dropwise with Iodotrimethylsilane (1.6 mL). A white precitate formed in the solution. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, solid Iodine (1.4 g) was added in one portion and the mixture stirred at 0° C. A dark color ensued. After 45 min, the reaction was quenched with 10% Na2S2O3, extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. (+/−)-1-Ethyl-3-iodo-6-methoxy-7-nitro-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-benzo[b]azepin-2-one isolated as an orangish solid (1.30 g, 88%). LC/MS: (M+H)+ found 390.93. Taking on without purification.
