Cyclohexane → HCID 58204579, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-Bromo-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]oxepin-5-one (5.0 g, 20.7 mmol) in dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (15 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 18 h. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and cyclohexane (20 mL) was added. The resulting solid precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with cyclohexane and then dried under vacuum at 40° C. to yield 8-Bromo-4-[1-dimethylamino-meth-(E)-ylidene]-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]-oxepin-5-one as yellow crystals (5.32 g, 86%). 1H NMR δ (ppm) (CDCl3): 7.73 (1H, s), 7.61 (1H, d, J=8.29 Hz), 7.29 (1H, dd, J=8.29, 1.94 Hz), 7.18 (1H, d, J=1.91 Hz), 4.28-4.21 (2H, m), 3.14 (6H, s), 2.77-2.70 (2H, m).
