Ethynylpyridine → 7-chloro-6-pyridin-2-ylethynyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Use a method similar to the General Procedure 3 to couple 7-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-6-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (425 mg, 1 mmol) with 2-ethynyl-pyridine (0.20 mL, 2 mmol). Purify by chromatography on silica gel eluting with isohexane/EtOAc (1:0 to 1:1 gradient over 40 min) to give 7-chloro-6-pyridin-2-ylethynyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (342 mg, 90%). MS (ES+) m/z: 379 (M+H)+.
