Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of 8-iodo-3,4-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-2,5-dione (0.3 g, 1.0 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) was added CuI (19 mg, 0.1 mmol), KF (116 mg, 2.0 mmol), Me4Sn (0.28 mL, 2.0 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (116 mg, 0.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 120° C. for 4 h. After being allowed to cool to rt, EtOAc (50 mL) and a 1M aqueous KF solution (25 mL) were added and the solution was allowed to stir for an additional 40 min. The mixture was filtered over Celite®. The organic solution was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to provide 8-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-1-benzazepine-2,5-dione (60 mg, 32%).
