Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7-fluoro-5-nitroso-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzothiazepine (449 mg, 2.11 mmol) was suspended in THF (1 mL of freshly distilled) and cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. Lithium aluminum hydride (80 mg, 2.11 mmol) was added in a portion-wise fashion. The flask was removed from the ice bath and allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred for 2 hours. Water (0.08 mL) was added and stirred for 10 minutes. 15% sodium hydroxide (0.08 mL) was added stirred for 10 minutes. Water (0.024 mL) was added and stirred for 10 minutes. The reaction was extracted with dichloromethane (2×25 mL). The organics were concentrated to a residue, then taken up in minimal amount of dichloromethane and then hydrogen chloride in ether (1 M) was added until precipatation formed, the precipatate was filtered off to give 7-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepin-5(2H)-amine (471 mg, 95%). 1H NMR (CD-3OD, 300 MHz): δ 7.59 (t, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 7.28 (d, 1H, J=9.9 Hz), 7.00 (t, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 3.52 (t, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 2.92–2.86 (m, 1H), 2.72–2.70 (m, 2H), 2.40–2.31 (m, 1H), 2.2–2.18 (m, 2H) ppm.
