Reaction Steps

A solution of N-trifluoroacetyl-7-methoxy-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (1.50 g, 5.22 mmol) in methanol (70 mL) was treated with CaCO3 (1.06 g, 10.44 mmol) followed by a solution of ICl (1.70 g, 10.44 mmol) in methanol (10 mL), and stirred overnight at 20° C. The product mixture was filtered, concentrated, dissolved in EtOAc (200 mL), extracted twice with 5% aqueous sodium bisulfite (100 mL), once with brine (100 mL), dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated. Flash chromatography (15% EtOAc in hexane, silica) resulted in 1.54 g of a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, mixture of rotamers) δ 7.55 (m, 1H), 6.57 (m, 1H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.80 (m, 1H), 3.60-3.30 (m, 2H), 3.20-2.80 (m, 4H), 1.30 (m, 3H). MS calculated for C14H15F3INO2+H: 414, observed: 414.
