Carbon tetrabromide → HCID 56975661, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (5S)-5-hydroxymethyl-1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepine (1.33 g), triphenylphosphine (2.10 g), carbon tetrabromide (2.65 g) and dichloromethane (50 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction solution is poured into a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane. The extract is dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, and the resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; dichloromethane:n-hexane=4:1), and recrystallized from diethyl ether--n-hexane to give (5S)-5-bromomethyl-1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepine (1.26 g).
