Reaction Steps

Treat 4-aminomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (0.2 g, 0.71 mmol) with K2CO3 (1.0 g, 0.71 mmol) in a mixture of toluene/water (1:1, 2 mL). Separate the organic layer, dry over anhydrous Na2SO4 and use as a toluene solution for the next step. Use a method similar to the General Procedure 5-2, using 7-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-6-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (0.1 g, 0.24 mmol) and 4-aminomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.2 g, 0.71 mmol) to give 7-chloro-6-(4-methoxycarbonyl-benzylamino)-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as a colorless oil.
