Reaction Steps

To a solution of in 8-bromo-N-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]oxepine-2-carboxamide (180 mg, 0.49 mmol) in 5 mL toluene was added phosphorus pentachloride (0.184 g, 0.88 mmol) under nitrogen and the reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 h. The mixture was cooled and carefully concentrated. The crude residue was dissolved in 10 mL THF and treated sequentially with formyl hydrazine (118 mg, 2.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.340 g, 2.46 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude residue was dissolved in toluene (10 mL) and treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid (15 mg, 0.087 mmol). The whole was sealed and heated at 90° C. for 15 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, concentrated, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water, sodium bicarbonate and brine. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 224 as the crude product which could be used without purification in subsequent operations. A small amount was purified by reverse-phase HPLC for analytical purposes. 1H NMR (dmso-d6, 400 MHz) δ 11.9 8.84 (s, 1H), 7.65 (d, 1H), 7.45 (s, 1H), 7.32-7.27 (m, 2H), 4.75 (m, 1H), 4.34 (t, 2H), 3.25 (t, 2H), 1.48 (d, 6H). MS (ESI) 392.1
