Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, add 4-(2-methyl-butyl)-benzylamine (450 mg, 2.54 mmol), 7-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-6-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (720 mg, 1.7 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (40 mg, 0.17 mmol), BINAP (222 mg, 0.34 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.4 g, 4.3 mmol) to toluene (20 mL). Heat the mixture at 95° C. for 12 h. Cool the mixture to room temperature and apply the mixture to a silica gel column eluting with hexane/EtOAc (10:1) to provide 7-chloro-6-[4-(2-methyl-butyl)-benzylamino]-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepine (450 mg, 59%). MS (ES+) m/z: 453 (M+H)+.
