Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2 g of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-thieno[2,3-c]azepin-8-one and 2.5 g of 4-chlorobutyryl chloride in 25 ml of dichloromethane was added 4.8 g of aluminum chloride under cooling. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, refluxed under heating and poured into water, and then extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether to give 1.2 g of 2-(4-chlorobutyryl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-thieno[2,3-c]azepin-8-one as white crystals, m.p. 163°-165° C.
