Reaction Steps

A solution of N-trifluoroacetyl-7-methoxy-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (1.25 g, 4.35 mmol) in acetonitrile (40 mL) was treated with N-bromosuccinimide (0.852 g, 4.79 mmol) and stirred overnight at 20° C. The product mixture was diluted with EtOAc (200 mL), washed with saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite (100 mL) and brine (100 mL), dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated. Flash chromatography (15% EtOAc in hexane, silica) resulted in 1.55 g of a clear oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, mixture of rotamers) δ 7.34 (s, 1H), 6.65 (m, 1H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 3.81 (m, 1H), 3.55 (m, 1.3H), 3.37 (m, 0.7H), 3.2-2.9 (bm, 4H), 1.30 (m, 3H). MS calculated for C14H15BrF3NO2+H: 366, observed: 366.
