Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, add 4-cycloheptyloxy-benzylamine (451 mg, 2.06 mmol), 7-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-6-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (500 mg, 1.17 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (26 mg, 0.117 mmol), BINAP (110 mg, 0.176 mmol), and cesium carbonate (1.15 g, 3.52 mmol) to toluene (20 mL). Heat the mixture at 90° C. for 12 h. Cool the mixture to room temperature and dilute with EtOAc (25 mL). Filter the solids through cellulose (20g) and concentrate in vacuo. Purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel (45g RediSep column) eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0 to 4:1 gradient over 1 h; 80 mL/min) to provide 7-chloro-6-(4-cycloheptyloxy-benzylamino)-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine as a colorless oil (384 mg, 61%). MS (APCI) m/z: 495 (M+H)+.
