Reaction Steps

1-tert-Butyl 4-ethyl azepane-1,4-dicarboxylate (3.3 g, 12 mmol, US Publication No. 2006/229289) was dissolved in THF (100 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. LiAlH4 (12 mL, 12 mmol) was added slowly and stirred for 30 minutes. Water (˜3 mL) was added slowly, followed by Na2SO4. The reaction was filtered and concentrated to afford crude tert-butyl 4-(hydroxymethyl)azepane-1-carboxylate (2.8 g, 100%).
