Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 18001027, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-7-chloro-1-(4-cyclohexyl-benzoyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepine (2 g) in ethanol (20 ml) is added a 5N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5 ml), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution is acidified with hydrochloric acid, and the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane. The extract is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to remove the solvent to give 5-carboxymethyl-7-chloro-1-(4-cyclohexylbenzoyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepine (1.8 g) in colorless amorphous.
